PORTS/HARBORS/TERMINALS: Provides relative to waterway projects

Summary

The law lets parishes, municipalities, port authorities and other government entities apply each quarter for state money to dredge and deepen Louisiana waterways. An appointed office ranks the projects, a joint legislative committee reviews the list in public hearings, and approved projects are funded from a new state Waterway Assistance Fund. The goal is to streamline project selection and ensure consistent funding for waterway improvements.
