EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
Proposed legislation may result in an increase in SGR expenditures in the Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism
(CRT) to staff the newly created Louisiana Music Commission (herein called the Commission). Proposed law allows the
Commission to appoint a director with the consent of CRT and subject to legislative appropriation. CRT reports the Office of
Cultural Development (OCD) will need one (1) additional unclassified T.O. position ($119,000 salary and related benefits) to
support the proposed Commission. CRT OCD will utilize the agency’s existing IAT budget authority to fund this position. This
IAT funding, received from CRT’s Office of Tourism, originates as SGR derived from the Louisiana Tourism Promotion District.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
Proposed legislation allows the Louisiana Music Commission to solicit funds from any public or private source. To the extent
any donations are received by the commission, an increase in self-generated revenues may be realized.
