House Bill No. by Representative Bacala enacts the Omnibus Bond Authorization Act of 2026, which establishes a five-year capital improvement program for the state of Louisiana. The bill aims to repeal certain prior bond authorizations that are no longer feasible due to inflation and other factors, while reauthorizing general obligation bonds for essential projects and introducing new bond authorizations. The State Bond Commission is granted the authority to issue and sell these bonds, ensuring that all capital outlay projects requiring bond funds are properly authorized as per the Louisiana Constitution.

Additionally, the bill outlines the procedures for the issuance of project bonds, which are intended to fund capital improvement projects and reimburse debt service on general obligation bonds. It mandates that designated student fees or other revenues be allocated to cover the debt service on these project bonds, and establishes a reimbursement reserve account to ensure financial stability. The Act will expire on June 30, 2027, unless certain conditions regarding bond sales or contracts are met, and it will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for gubernatorial action.
