§ 33:2743 — Levy of tax to defray expenses in criminal proceedings

Whenever any tax is to be levied for defraying the expenses in criminal proceedings, parish governing authorities may levy and collect the tax on all property situated within their respective parishes, whether or not the property is situated within any municipality. This Section shall not apply to municipalities which, by the provisions of their charters, pay the entire expenses of all criminal proceedings originating within their own limits, and their pro rata of other parish expenses.
