Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 39, § 1310. Amending the adopted budget

A. When the governing authority has received notification pursuant to R.S. 39:1311, or there has been a change in operations upon which the original adopted budget was developed, the governing authority shall adopt a budget amendment in an open meeting to reflect such change.

In no event shall a budget amendment be adopted proposing expenditures which exceed the total of estimated funds available for the fiscal year.
