HB 241 Original 2016 Regular Session Zeringue
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.
