§338.138.1. Lafourche Parish School Board; authority to levy and collect additional sales
and use tax
A. The Lafourche Parish School Board may levy and collect an additional sales and
use tax not in excess of one percent.
B. The tax authorized by this Section shall be in addition to all other taxes which
such a school board is authorized to levy and, pursuant to Section 29(B) of Article VI of the
Constitution of Louisiana, shall not be subject to the combined rate limitation established in
Section 29(A) of such Article nor to the combined rate limitation established by R.S.
47:338.54. The authority granted in this Section shall not limit any prior taxing authority
granted to the school board or to any other political subdivision by any other provision of
law.
C. The sales and use tax shall be imposed by ordinance of the school board and shall
be levied upon the sale at retail, the use, lease, or rental, the consumption, and the storage for
use or consumption of tangible personal property, and on sales of services in the parish, all
as defined in Chapter 2 of this Subtitle. However, the ordinance imposing the tax shall be
adopted by the school board only after the question of the imposition of the tax has been
submitted to the qualified electors of the parish at an election conducted in accordance with
the election laws of the state, and a majority of those voting on the proposition have voted
in favor of the imposition of the tax.
D. The proceeds of the tax may be used for any lawful purpose of the board. The
proposition authorizing the levy of the tax may authorize the funding of a portion of the
avails of the tax into bonds in the manner provided by law.
E. The sales and use tax authorized by this Section shall be collected at the same
time and in the same manner as set forth in Chapter 2 of this Subtitle.
