DIGEST
SB 87 Engrossed 2022 Regular Session Cathey
Present law (R.S. 39:112(C)(1)) provides that capital outlay budget requests submitted after
November 1st may be included in the capital outlay act if the request meets all of the requirements
as provided for in R.S. 39:101 and 102 and if the following conditions have been met:
(1)The project is an economic development project recommended by the secretary of the
Department of Economic Development.
(2)The project is determined to be an emergency by the commissioner of administration.
(3)The project is for a nonstate entity, has a total cost of less than one million dollars, and has
been approved by the Joint Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay (JLCCO) by February
1st.
(4)The project is located in a designated disaster area because of a national or state declared
disaster.
(5)The project is a state-owned and administered project, including a public post secondary
education institution.
Proposed law retains present law and further requires that economic development projects
recommended by the secretary of the Department of Economic Development and projects deemed
to be an emergency by the commissioner of administration receive approval from the JLCCO.
Present law provides that nonstate projects shall require a local match of not less than 25% of the
total amount of the project but provides for certain exceptions.
Proposed law retains present law and requires that projects deemed to be an emergency and exempt
from providing the 25% local match, by the commissioner of administration, must also receive
approval from the JLCCO.
Proposed law requires the commissioner to submit emergency projects to JLCCO for review and
JLCCO to meet to review emergency projects for approval within 30 days of receipt from the
commissioner. Further requires approval of emergency projects if the JLCCO does not meet within
the thirty-day review period.
Proposed law requires the commissioner of administration to provide an annual report, no later than
February 1st, of projects exempt from providing a 25% local match, to the JLCCO, House Ways & Means, and Senate Revenue & Fiscal Affairs.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
