La. Stat. tit. 38 § 2319.1
Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
The intent of the legislature in enacting this Part is to provide a cost effective means of acquiring essential equipment for the operation of local governmental entities. Commercial leases or renting agreements as well as lump sum purchases of equipment have created a burden on the finances of the various local governmental entities in the state, and it has been determined that, pursuant to this Part, essential equipment may be obtained using an equipment-lease-purchase contract in conjunction with tax-exempt financing and earnings on investments by nonprofit lessors resulting in lower net equipment costs to local government.
