Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 25, § 1271.4. Limitations

A. No more than twenty percent of funds appropriated or allocated to the program in any fiscal year may be granted to municipalities or eligible entities within any one parish.

B. In no case shall the aggregate amount of grants in any fiscal year exceed the amount of the appropriation to the department for the program in that fiscal year or the amount allocated to the program by the department in the event that funding for the program is included in an appropriation to the department containing funding for other programs. The provision of grants under this Chapter shall in no way constitute an entitlement derived from the state of Louisiana or a claim on any other funds of the state.

C. All grants awarded through the program shall be awarded in conformity with rules and regulations promulgated by the department in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. No grant shall be awarded until after such time as such rules and regulations become effective.

D. All grants awarded through the program shall be from funds specifically appropriated by the legislature for the program.

E. No grant may be awarded through the program unless and until the legislature has appropriated to the department sufficient funds designated for the operation of the program.
