APPROPRIATIONS: To urge and request the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority to report on potential liabilities to the state general fund if the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project is not timely completed (EN NO IMPACT See Note)
This bill amends a resolution requesting the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority to report on potential financial liabilities to the state if the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion project is not finished on time. The changes update the deadline for this report from May 31 to June 12, 2024, and adjust specific figures regarding the project's estimated construction cost and associated fees. Additionally, the text modifies the venue for legal proceedings from the Twenty-Fifth Judicial District Court to the Plaquemines Parish Government and clarifies that the request comes from the House of Representatives. These adjustments refine the administrative details of an existing request without altering the core requirement for the authority to provide a financial assessment.
