REVENUE SHARING: Provides for the Revenue Sharing Distribution for Fiscal Year 2025-2026
HB 462 adjusts the fiscal year 2025-2026 revenue sharing distribution for Louisiana parishes, modifying specific dollar amounts in the existing allocation formula. The bill reallocates a total of $90 million, with $9.77 million designated for education and $2.00 million for other purposes, across all 64 parishes. Amendments correct figures for multiple parishes (e.g., reducing Caddo's general allocation from $4,331,590 to $4,331,590, increasing Rapides' education allocation from $317,636 to $317,636), while maintaining the overall total. This is a technical budget adjustment affecting how existing funds are distributed to local governments, not a new policy.

MINOR
The bill was converted from a draft proposal to an enrolled act, finalizing its status as law. The primary substantive change is the expansion of the list of eligible 'tax recipient bodies' for revenue sharing, adding numerous new special taxing districts and bodies across multiple parishes that were previously excluded or had never participated in the program.
Scope change
The scope of the bill was expanded to include a significantly larger number of special taxing districts and other bodies that are now eligible for revenue sharing funds, whereas the original version contained a more limited list.
ELIGIBILITY
Added a new category of eligible 'tax recipient bodies' defined as special taxing districts and other bodies that were not eligible for reimbursement under Section 1(a)(1) but had erroneously shared as recipients in past Acts (598 and 592).
Added a new category of eligible bodies defined as special taxing districts that were never eligible for reimbursement and never shared in specific parishes (Bossier, East Baton Rouge, Ouachita, and Terrebonne).
Substantively modified the list of eligible entities by adding dozens of new districts (e.g., various Fire Protection, Sewerage, and Recreation districts) and removing others that were present in the original draft but not in the final act.
