legislative instrument, were prepared by Curry Johnson.
DIGEST
Thompson (SB 93)
Present law requires the La. Forestry Commission to retain all receipts from the sale of seedlings
at commission nurseries. 
Proposed law instead requires the Dept. of Agriculture and Forestry to retain all receipts from the
sale of seedlings at commission nurseries.
Present law requires that receipts from the sale of seedlings be expended in the development and
operation of the commission's nurseries for scientific forestry research and experimentation for
land acquisition and general operations of the commission.
Proposed law narrows the scope of present law to require that receipts from the sale of seedlings
only be expended in the general operations of the commission nurseries instead of the
commission and otherwise retains present law.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
