Public Entity Facilities Financing Act

Louisiana · Public Finance · §§ 39-1000 to 39-999 · 161 sections

Overview

The Public Entity Facilities Financing Act governs the issuance of bonds and other debt instruments by public entities in Louisiana, including parish school boards, and provides authority for financing arrangements secured by taxes and other statutory impositions. It sets out definitions and rules of construction, grants both general and type-specific bond-issuing power, and prescribes the mechanics of issuance — the manner of issuing bonds, interest rates, sales, registration, credit enhancement devices, and defeasance. It also treats the resulting bonds as negotiable instruments exempt from taxation and eligible for investment, and establishes a validity-contest procedure under which resolutions are published and challenges become peremptied after the prescribed period.
