outlay acts.
1 A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
2 To urge and request the commissioner of administration to provide the legislature with a list
3 of all nonstate entity capital outlay projects which have not been required to provide
4 matching funds.
5 WHEREAS, R.S. 39:112(E) provides that nonstate entity capital outlay projects shall
6 require a match of not less than twenty-five percent of the total requested amount of funding
7 except in three instances; and
8 WHEREAS, matching funds are not required for a nonstate entity project which is:
9 (a) a project deemed by the commissioner of administration to be an emergency project; (b)
10 a project of a nonstate entity which has demonstrated its inability to provide a local match
11 where the division of administration has promulgated rules establishing a needs-based
12 formula for determining the inability of a nonstate entity to provide the required local match,
13 however such rules have never been promulgated; (c) a project for a rural water system
14 servicing less than one thousand two hundred fifty customers; and
15 WHEREAS, there is no site where the nonstate entities or the public can see which
16 nonstate entity projects have had the match requirement waived either because the
17 commissioner deemed the project to be an emergency or the project is for a rural water
18 system servicing less than one thousand two hundred fifty customers.
