SENATE CONCURRENT RESOL UTION NO. 25
BY SENATOR CATHEY
A CONCURRENT RESOL UTION
To urge and request the commissioner of administration to provide the legislature with a list
of all nonstate entity capital outlay projects which have not been required to provide
matching funds.
WHEREAS, R.S. 39:112(E) provides that nonstate entity capital outlay projects shall
require a match of not less than twenty-five percent of the total requested amount of funding
except in three instances; and
WHEREAS, matching funds are not required for a nonstate entity project which is:
(a) a project deemed by the commissioner of administration to be an emergency project; (b)
a project of a nonstate entity which has demonstrated its inability to provide a local match
where the division of administration has promulgated rules establishing a needs-based
formula for determining the inability of a nonstate entity to provide the required local match,
however such rules have never been promulgated; (c) a project for a rural water system
servicing less than one thousand two hundred fifty customers; and
WHEREAS, there is no site where the nonstate entities or the public can see which
nonstate entity projects have had the match requirement waived either because the
commissioner deemed the project to be an emergency or the project is for a rural water
system servicing less than one thousand two hundred fifty customers.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Legislature of Louisiana does hereby
urge and request the commissioner of administration to submit to the legislature, no later
than fourteen days after the effective date of this Senate Concurrent Resolution, a list of all
of the nonstate entity capital outlay projects for which the matching funds requirement has
been waived for nonstate projects in the 2016-2017 capital outlay act through and including
the projects in the 2021-2022 capital outlay bill.
