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 formal procedure for these entities to submit funding requests, requiring them to do so by November 1 each year. It also outlines the necessary information that must be included in the funding request form and stipulates that any requests submitted after the deadline may still be considered 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 specifies 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 create clearer limitations on funding for these entities within the legislative process. The amendments will take effect on July 1, 2025, ensuring that the new procedures and limitations are in place for future funding cycles.
