Proposed law directs the state treasurer to transfer any balances remaining in the funds eliminated
to the state general fund.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES WAIVER FUND (R.S. 39:100.61) Present law (R.S. 39:100.61) creates the New Opportunities Waiver Fund and provides for sources
of monies in the fund including:
(1)12% of recurring state general fund, not to exceed $50 million any fiscal year, that is
recognized by the Revenue Estimating Conference in excess of the official forecast at the
beginning of the current fiscal year.
(2)Any donations, gifts, grants, appropriations, or other revenue designated to the fund and
received by the treasurer.
Present law (R.S. 47:120.171) provides that a state taxpayer that files an individual income tax return
may donate an amount of their refund to the New Opportunities Waiver Fund.
Proposed law eliminates the recurring state general fund as a source of revenue into the fund and
changes the other revenue from any donations, gifts, grants, appropriations, or other revenue to
donations received from the refund of a state taxpayer as provided for in present law.
Present law (R.S. 47:302.2-302.55, 322.1-322.48, and 332.1-322.54) dedicates certain state sales and
use tax revenues for deposit into certain special treasury funds for local entities. Proposed law
repeals all such dedications and eliminates all such funds.
Effective July 1, 2017.
