House Bill No. [insert number] amends R.S. 39:126 concerning change orders for projects under the Capital Outlay Act. The bill raises the threshold for requiring prior approval from the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget from $100,000 to $250,000 per month for change orders. Additionally, it stipulates that any change order exceeding $50,000 but less than $250,000 must be submitted to the committee for review, although it does not require their approval.

The bill also mandates that all change orders for projects under this part must receive approval from the commissioner of administration. The effective date of the act will be upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the time allowed for bills to become law without signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution. If the bill is vetoed and later approved by the legislature, it will take effect the day after that approval.
