This bill amends several sections of Louisiana law concerning the management and allocation of treasury funds, introducing new funds such as the Criminal Justice and First Responder Fund, the Higher Education Campus Revitalization Fund, and the Louisiana Transportation Infrastructure Fund. It allocates significant amounts for various programs, including $285,715,100 for the Highway Priority Program and $75 million for the College and University Deferred Maintenance and Capital Improvement Fund. The bill also ensures that unexpended and unencumbered funds at the end of each fiscal year remain available for future use, enhancing the overall management of state resources.

Additionally, the bill makes notable changes to existing funds, including raising the annual deposit cap for the Department of Justice Legal Support Fund from $10 million to $15 million and modifying withdrawal requirements from the Capital Outlay Savings Fund. It repeals the Louisiana Transparency Fund and imposes new limitations on the Community Options Waiver Fund and the Water Sector Fund. The bill also authorizes the treasurer to transfer $10 million from the State General Fund to the Coastal Protection and Restoration Fund and allows for appropriations from the Revenue Stabilization Trust Fund to address emergency conditions, contingent upon legislative approval. The effective dates for various sections are staggered, with some provisions taking effect upon the governor's signature and others on specified future dates.
