Hoffmann HB No. 1010
Abstract: Provides for written certification for preferences in procurement for paper
products manufactured in Louisiana.
Present law provides for preferences in procurement for paper products manufactured in
Louisiana. Present law further provides for proof that the paper is manufactured or
converted in Louisiana by requiring that for paper supplied in wrapped reams, each carton
and each individual ream shall be clearly labeled with the name of the manufacturer or
converter and the location within Louisiana. For paper and paper products supplied in bulk
or in other forms, the smallest unit of packaging shall be clearly labeled with the name of
the manufacturer or converter and the location within Louisiana.
Proposed law retains present law and additionally allows for paper to be delivered with
written certification from the manufacturer as proof that the paper product was manufactured
or converted in Louisiana.
