Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 11, § 269. Disclosure; consultants; money managers

A. (1) Consultants and money managers shall provide full disclosure to the sponsor of each Louisiana public retirement or pension system, plan, or fund of conflicts of interest, including non-pension sponsor sources of revenue. Consultants also shall provide full disclosure of any payments they receive from money managers, in hard or soft dollars, for any services they provide, including but not limited to performance measurement, business consulting, and education.

(2) Each consultant and money manager shall submit a written disclosure report semiannually to each system beginning July 1, 2005. A report shall be submitted regardless of whether the consultant or money manager has any conflict or payment to report. Should a reportable agreement be confected during any reporting period, the consultant or money manager shall notify the system of the agreement within seven business days.

B. (1) Any consultant or money manager found to be in violation of Subsection A of this Section shall pay to the system, plan, or fund an amount of money equal to the value of the revenue or payments he failed to disclose together with any damages caused by the failure to disclose. Additionally, if the failure to disclose is intentional, the consultant or money manager shall pay to the system an amount equal to three times the value of the revenue or payment he failed to disclose as a penalty, in addition to any damages actually caused by the failure to disclose.

(2) If the consultant or money manager provides services for more than one Louisiana public retirement or pension system, plan, or fund, the amounts in Paragraph (1) of this Subsection shall be paid to each such system to which he fails to make the required disclosure.
