House Concurrent Resolution No. 15 proposes amendments to Joint Rule No. 17 of the Louisiana Legislature, which governs funding requests from nongovernmental entities that are neither budget units nor political subdivisions of the state. The resolution establishes a requirement for these entities to submit their funding requests by November 1 each year, along with specific information as prescribed by the relevant legislative committees. It also outlines the process for late submissions, which may be included in appropriation bills if approved by the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget or the Joint Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay before the last day for introducing legislative matters.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that any appropriation bill that includes funding for a budget unit or a political subdivision cannot also include appropriations for nongovernmental entities. This change aims to clarify the funding process and impose limitations on appropriations to ensure that funding requests from nongovernmental entities are handled in a structured manner. The amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025.
