Budget & Taxes

This bill directs how money in the East Baton Rouge Parish Riverside Centroplex Fund should be used, affecting the city of Baton Rouge and its local projects. It allows state legislators to annually decide how much money to spend on capital improvements and operations at the Riverside Centroplex, Louisiana Arts and Science Center Museum, Riverfront Promenade, and other Riverfront Development Plan projects. The bill also specifies that any unused money in the fund stays in the fund, while interest earned from investments goes into the state general fund. The changes take effect on July 1, 2026.
