HB 646 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CONTRACTS: Provides for a contract limit for public work projects by the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism

HB 646 amends the contract limit for public work projects managed by the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism. The bill specifically removes two lines from a previous Senate committee amendment, effectively altering the text related to these contract restrictions. This change directly impacts how the department authorizes and executes public construction or service agreements. By modifying the legislative language, the bill adjusts the procedural framework governing these specific public works contracts.
