Abstract: Provides for discretion in utilizing administrative and budgetary services
provided by the Dept. of Natural Resources to the Coastal Protection and Restoration
Authority.
Present law requires the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) to utilize the
Dept. of Natural Resources, office of management and finance for accounting and budgetary
control, procurement and contractual management, data processing, management and
program analysis, and personnel management and grants management.
Proposed law modifies present law by allowing, instead of requiring, the CPRA to utilize the
Dept. of Natural Resources, office of management and finance for those services.
Present law prohibits the secretary of the Dept. of Natural Resources from exercising
authority over the provision of these services. Proposed law retains present law.
