Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 6, June 20, 2024
A. For
				purposes of a definition, an
emergency
is an event or
				occurrence not reasonably anticipated by the legislature, that is one not
				considered and rejected, in the same relative form or content, by a vote of the
				legislature or a committee thereof.
B. Requests for programs or projects which
				may require future continuing state appropriations shall not be acted upon by
				the board except by request for deficit spending. Should such deficit spending
				be found impractical or impossible, the board may fund such projects with a
				favorable vote of six members.
C.
				Requests for emergency appropriations will be accepted only for funding of
				state agencies or state sponsored programs. The only exception to this rule
				shall be those requests from political subdivisions generated as a result of
				disaster situations (i.e., hurricane, flood, severe freezing, tornado,
				etc.).
D. Requests for emergency
				appropriations or deficit spending shall be submitted by the head of a state
				department or educational management board or by an area state legislator for a
				disaster situation application in behalf of a political subdivision on the
				board's official application form. The request shall be made to the board at
				least 10 working days prior to a scheduled meeting.
E. All educational institutions under the
				jurisdiction of a management board must submit the approval of that management
				board with the application.
F.
				Requests for any priority change in the capital outlay bill or for any
				certificate of impracticality or impossibility must be accompanied by a
				recommendation of the commissioner of administration at the time of
				submission.
G. The agenda of
				requested items shall be forwarded to each member of the board no later than
				five days prior to a scheduled meeting. The board, with a majority approval,
				may add to the published agenda only those items pertaining to a priority
				change, a certificate of impracticality or impossibility, a fiscal agent
				approval or any board administrative item. Because of statutory prohibitions,
				the board shall not suspend its rules to add an appropriation item to its
				published agenda.
H. The
				appropriation of funds by the board shall become effective upon receipt by the
				board, within 60 days after notice to the applicant of legislative approval, of
				satisfactory evidence of an obligation to expend such funds.
I. A resolution of the board shall be
				required for a bank to be designated as a fiscal agent for the state of
				Louisiana.
J. A budget for the
				operational expenses of the board shall be prepared for review by the board and
				submitted to the legislature through the normal budgetary process for inclusion
				in the general appropriations bill.
K. The board may impose such other
				qualifications, conditions, limitations, or restrictions on any appropriation
				it deems necessary and proper.
L. A
				letter shall be transmitted to the state treasurer stating that an
				appropriation has been made or a deficit has been authorized for a state agency
				in accordance with the law.
M.
				Warrants will be drawn only through the Division of Administration.
N. Any item which was favorably recommended
				by the board and received legislative approval from one house but failed to
				receive approval from the other house shall not be eligible for reconsideration
				for reballoting at any future meeting of the board.

				  Promulgated in accordance with
