Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 34, § 2110. Bond issues

The board is authorized to incur debt and issue negotiable bonds to acquire lands for the uses of the district and to provide funds for the making and construction of the public works and improvements outlined in this Part, when authorized to so do by a vote of a majority in number and value of the property taxpayers of the district qualified to vote at an election held for the purpose in accordance with law.

The board may, upon its own initiative, call a special election and submit to the qualified taxpaying voters of the district the question of incurring such debt and issuing negotiable bonds. The board shall call such special election when requested so to do by petition in writing signed by one-fourth of the property tax payers in number eligible to vote at such election.

All such elections and all proceedings for the issuance and sale of bonds shall be called, held, and conducted in accordance with the laws authorizing and governing elections and authorizing the issuance of bonds for such purposes by other political subdivisions which are authorized to incur debt and issue bonds of like character. The provisions of such laws shall govern and control all elections held hereunder in so far as the same may be applicable thereto.
