§461.9. Changing capital outlay project descriptions
A. Beginning with the comprehensive capital budget which the state adopts for Fiscal Year 2001-2002 and each fiscal year thereafter, whenever at the written request of the appropriate legislators and agency set forth in Subsection C of this Section the interim emergency board determines that an adjustment to a project description originally set forth in such capital budget adopted by the legislature for a current fiscal year is necessary to correct a mistake in a project description, clarify a description, change the scope of a description, or make any other adjustment the board deems necessary to implement the purpose of the project, such adjustment shall only become effective upon the approval by majority vote of the elected members of each house of the legislature in the manner provided for in this Chapter.
B. Notwithstanding Subsection A of this Section, the board shall not have authority pursuant to the provisions of this Section to do any of the following:
(1) Change the amount of funding allocated to any project.
(2) Change the source of funds for any project.
(3) Change the local match required of any project.
(4) Change the entity for which the project funding has been appropriated, except to correct the legal name of such entity or unless the entity provides to the commission its written consent for such change.
(5) Change the parish and/or other political subdivision in which the description requires the project to be located.
C. The board shall not consider or authorize an adjustment to any project description unless it receives a written request for such adjustment from the legislators in whose district or districts the project is located and from the entity for which the project funding has been appropriated.
