RS 301 - Policy and purpose It is the determination of the legislature that the production of natural resources, more particularly oil and gas, will within the years to come, decline steadily, and that the revenues generated by these resources will decline as well, thereby decreasing the amount of funds which the state shall have to operate and carry out the functions which it has been assigned to accomplish. In order to preserve the benefits of these natural resources for future generations and to prevent the wasteful expenditures of revenues produced from these natural resources and to prevent in the future a situation wherein the citizens of the state will be unduly burdened with excessive taxes, it is the purpose of this Chapter, to provide the establishment of a trust fund into which the revenues from the oil and gas production of the state shall be deposited and shall remain, to be invested by the treasurer of the state as provided by law, and the interest thereon made available to the general fund to be used for the operation of the state.

RS 302 - Louisiana Investment Fund for Enhancement (L.I.F.E.); established There is hereby established a fund in the state treasury to be known as the Louisiana Investment Fund for Enhancement (L.I.F.E.), hereafter referred to as the "fund", into which the state treasurer shall each fiscal year, and beginning with the 1981-82 fiscal year, deposit from the revenues produced from the production of oil and gas within the state, after those revenues have been deposited in the Bond Security and Redemption Fund and remittance has been made to political subdivisions as required by Article VII, Section 4 of the Constitution of Louisiana, a portion of windfall revenues from oil and gas price deregulation. Such windfall revenues shall be those monies accruing to the state above a "base" which, for the purposes of this Chapter, is defined as the estimated level of collections from oil, gas, and other severance taxes and oil and gas production royalties in fiscal year 1980-81, those collections to be specified as one billion and eighty-five million dollars ($1,085,000,000) and comprised of: (1) seven hundred sixty million dollars ($760,000,000) from oil, gas, and other severance taxes, and (2) three hundred twenty-five million dollars ($325,000,000) from oil and gas royalty payments, excluding bonuses and rentals.  The above defined "base" shall be used to calculate the windfall revenues for fiscal year 1981-82. The treasurer shall determine each fiscal year subsequent to fiscal year 1981-82 a new "base" which shall be determined by multiplying the "base" for the previous fiscal year by the most recent annual change in the Consumer Price Index and then adding that product to the "base" for the previous year.
