Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 38, § 90.6. Public hearings; reports; review by legislature

Prior to the convening of each regular session of the legislature, beginning with the 1984 regular session, the committee shall hold public hearings in locations convenient to each designated drainage basin for the purpose of reviewing projects for the coming fiscal year. Prior to each hearing, the office shall publish the appropriate official notice in the necessary journals which shall include a description of the affected areas. The committee shall prepare the final program for the coming fiscal year for submission to the legislature. When this final program is presented to the legislature for funding for the coming fiscal year any project which the legislature determines has not been selected in accordance with the methodology provided for in R.S. 38:90.4 may be deleted by the legislature. However, the legislature shall not add any projects to this final program nor shall the legislature make substitutions for projects which have been removed.
