The Joint Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay shall make recommendations to the commissioner of administration concerning the non-state entity projects to be granted lines of credit.

(2) If a port, levee district, or other non-state entity, enters into a contract, executes a purchase order or otherwise attempts to obligate any funds to be reimbursed by the state without first fully complying with the provisions of this Section, any obligation resulting therefrom shall remain the sole responsibility of the port, levee district, or non-state entity, and the contract or purchase order or other obligation shall not be eligible for reimbursement or payment by the state.
