RS 24:101 - Purpose and findings A. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in severe declines in revenue for both private and public sector entities and, if no action is taken, the state of Louisiana will face significant funding challenges threatening the ability to finance state obligations. B. Like thousands of businesses in Louisiana being forced to reevaluate the nature and scope of their operations in these trying times, the state of Louisiana must do the same. It is imperative to act swiftly to reduce the operational costs of state government entities through all means necessary and available, including efficiencies, economies, enhanced effectiveness, and other means to streamline government and overcome the financial challenges in the near future.
