Program Authorization: Article VII, Section 4(A) of the La. Constitution of 1974
The state receives royalties from mineral leases on state-owned lands, lakes, river bottoms and other water bottoms. In accordance with Article VII, Section 4(A) of the Constitution of 1974, ten percent (10%) of these royalties is remitted to the governing authority of the parish in which severance or production occurs. The Parish Royalty Fund was established for the receipt and disbursement of that percentage of the royalties due local governments. A parish governing authority may use these royalties to fund issuance of general obligation bonds of the parish in accordance with law.
