A. After adoption of the department's recommendations by the joint committee, the approved list of projects shall be forwarded to the department for implementation. The approved list shall be implemented by the department by the use of funds appropriated, funding obligation authority, or pursuant to the cash management program as provided by R.S. 48:251(D). Funding or funding obligation authority shall be allocated to projects in accordance with the prioritized list of projects approved by the joint committee. Funding obligation authority may be granted or authorized for a project from funds appropriated or obligated for another project or projects within the Port Priority Construction and Development Program provided that such authority does not impede such project or projects. Such funding obligation authority shall be extinguished for a project at such time as funds are made available for obligation for the project. The department shall not delete, add, or substitute any projects for those approved by the joint committee, except as provided in R.S. 34:3456; however, the secretary of the department may, at his discretion, authorize projects to be undertaken and financed due to an emergency out of the secretary's emergency fund.
B. No port project shall be undertaken by the department except those included in the approved program listing which are funded or which have funding obligation authority for that fiscal year with the exception of projects undertaken and financed out of the secretary's emergency fund.
