§166. Disbursement of funds
A. The office shall not disburse funds to a nongovernmental entity unless it establishes a benefit to the function of the office pursuant to law, and unless services are actually delivered. Under no circumstances shall the office disburse state funds for the purpose of savings, reserves, or other purposes related primarily to the economic health of the nongovernmental entity or its owners and employees.
B. Any service which the office seeks shall be subject to an application process by which the office provides objective deliverables and allows the district defenders to make application upon the same terms as a nongovernmental entity to provide services in that district or a regional area for services as provided by law.
C. No provision of Louisiana law authorizing the return or rollback of funds from governmental programs to the division of administration shall apply to the office account during an emergency shortfall in funding as certified by the office with the approval of the chief justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
