HB 857 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CAPITAL OUTLAY: Expands the class of parishes eligible for a waiver of a matching funds requirement for capital outlay projects (EN DECREASE LF EX See Note)

This bill modifies the deadline for parishes to request a waiver of matching funds for capital outlay projects, extending the eligibility period through June 30, 2027. It directly affects parishes in Louisiana that seek financial assistance for infrastructure and construction projects without having to provide matching funds. The key provision is a simple date adjustment in the existing law, allowing these requests to be made for a longer timeframe than previously allowed. This change does not alter the requirement for a waiver itself, only the window during which a parish can apply for one.
