RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 207 (SB 354) 2016 Regular Session Cortez
Prior law, relative to contracts of the Department of Transportation and Development,
provided for plan changes that may be negotiated.
New law adds that plan changes within the scope of the contract are not required to be
recorded in the office of the recorder of mortgages in the parish where the work is
performed.
Prior law provided for final acceptance or partial acceptance of work performed under
contract and for recordation of a final acceptance or partial acceptance of any specified area
of the work upon completion.
New law defines "partial acceptance" to mean the determination by the department made
after final inspection of a portion of the project that the contractor has satisfactorily
completed a portion of the project and that such portion may be used advantageously by
traffic or for other use.
Effective upon signature of the governor (May 26, 2016).
