This bill amends and reenacts specific provisions of the Louisiana Local Government Environmental Facilities and Community Development Authority's powers, specifically R.S. 33:4548.5(A)(6), (12), and (20), while also enacting a new subsection R.S. 33:4548.5(C). Key changes include the authority's ability to accept and expend donations from private sources, as well as the removal of the phrase "or any agency" from the provision regarding gifts or grants from the federal government. Additionally, the authority is now explicitly permitted to loan money to state agencies, expanding its financial capabilities.

Furthermore, the newly enacted subsection C clarifies that the authority's powers extend to all parishes in the state, allowing it to operate directly or through a joint commission established via local services agreements with parishes or municipalities. This broadens the authority's operational scope and ensures that its service area encompasses the entire state unless otherwise specified in local agreements. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature.
