§2380. Right-to-Know Dedicated Fund Account
A. Subject to the exceptions contained in Article VII, Section 9 of the Constitution
of Louisiana, all monies collected pursuant to R.S. 30:2373 shall be paid into the state
treasury and shall be credited to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund. Out of the funds
remaining in the Bond Security and Redemption Fund, after a sufficient amount is allocated
from that fund to pay all obligations secured by the full faith and credit of the state which
become due and payable within a fiscal year, the treasurer shall, prior to placing such
remaining funds in the state general fund, pay into a special statutorily dedicated fund
account, which is hereby created in the state treasury and designated as the "Right-to-Know
Dedicated Fund Account", hereinafter referred to as the "account", an amount equal to all
monies collected pursuant to R.S. 30:2373. The balance in the account shall not exceed two
million dollars. Any monies in excess of that amount shall revert to the general fund.
Monies deposited into the account shall be categorized as fees and self-generated revenue
for the sole purpose of reporting related to the executive budget, supporting documents, and
general appropriation bills and shall be available for annual appropriation by the legislature.
B. Monies in the account shall be paid to the deputy secretary on his warrant and
shall be used to develop the Louisiana Chemical Network (LCN), a statewide centralized
inventory and release reporting system. This centralized reporting system is intended to
eliminate duplication in reporting requirements, develop centralized data management, and
provide processed data to all parishes via the local emergency planning committees (LEPCs).
The department shall have the responsibility to develop a centralized data distribution system
and provide the local emergency planning committees with the necessary equipment,
software, and training to support its application. The monies in the account shall be
dedicated to equipment acquisition and personnel training for LEPCs and for the department
to properly staff the centralized data management functions. The deputy secretary shall adopt
the necessary rules and regulations to administer this system.
