WHEREAS, Louisiana has faced deficits annually since Fiscal Year 2008-2009; and
WHEREAS, the state general fund expenditures of state government are projected
to continue to grow in the five-year continuation baseline projection but state revenues are
not projected to meet those expenditures; and
WHEREAS, solving the budget deficits in the coming years and setting the state on
a path of continued fiscal responsibility requires a thorough review of all areas of state
spending; and
WHEREAS, there are numerous areas within state government in which reforming
the current policies and practices will produce savings or additional revenues for the state.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the House of Representatives of the
Legislature of Louisiana does hereby direct the division of administration to review the
historical purchasing of state agencies in the last two months of the fiscal year as compared
to the first 10 months and report its findings and any recommendations for more efficient
purchasing practices to the House of Representatives no later than 30 days prior to the
convening of the 2017 Regular Session of the Legislature.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be sent to the
commissioner of administration.
