§ 39:1412 — Effectuation of R.S. 39:1411

Each department, commission, board, institution, agency and political subdivision of the state and the officers thereof which are empowered to extend financial assistance to any program or activity, by way of grant, loan, or contract other than a contract of insurance or guaranty, shall effectuate the provisions of R.S. 39:1411 with respect to such program or activity by issuing rules, regulations, or orders of general applicability which shall be consistent with achievement of the objectives of the statute authorizing the financial assistance in connection with which the action is taken. No such rule, regulation, or order shall become effective unless and until approved by the governor. Compliance with any requirement adopted pursuant to this section may be effectuated by any means authorized by law; provided, however, that no such action shall be taken until the department or agency concerned has advised the appropriate person or persons of the failure to comply with the requirement and has determined that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means.
