COASTAL RES/COASTAL ZONE: Provides relative to the disposition of funds derived from alternative energy production in the coastal area (EN SEE FISC NOTE SD RV See Note)
This bill amends a previous resolution regarding the use of funds generated from alternative energy production in Louisiana's coastal zone. The specific change directs that $300 be allocated from these funds, replacing a previously blank amount. This adjustment affects the financial management of coastal energy projects by specifying a fixed sum for distribution. The measure does not create new programs but rather clarifies the exact dollar amount available for disposition under the existing framework.
