House Bill No. by Representative Bourriaque amends R.S. 34:3472(A)(1) to modify the application submission timelines for funding of waterway projects by governmental entities. The bill changes the submission frequency from a quarterly basis to a semi-annual basis. Additionally, it specifies that applications must now be submitted by the first of March and September, eliminating the previous deadlines of June and December.

This legislative change aims to streamline the application process for waterway project funding, allowing for fewer submission periods each year while still ensuring that applications are considered for funding in the upcoming fiscal years. The bill retains the requirement for applications to comply with the provisions of R.S. 39:101 through 128, ensuring that necessary information is provided for evaluation.
