Committee reviews House Bill 460 capital-outlay list, member estimates ~$3 million to parish
Summary
Gerald Burns read multiple allocations from House Bill 460, listing recipients and dollar amounts and estimating 'a little over $3,000,000' in parish-level capital outlay; members requested follow-up to verify specific shares.
At the Jan. 5 meeting, committee member Gerald Burns summarized capital-outlay items listed in House Bill 460 (the 2025 capital-outlay bill), reading line items that he said direct funds to communities and organizations in Livingston Parish.
Burns read specific allocations aloud and described recipients including the Killian water contract, local parks and recreation improvements, school-board facility renovations, police and fire department vehicle purchases, and a large allocation to the Livingston Parish Fair Association. Burns said he tallied the items and came up with "a little over $3,000,000" for Livingston Parish.
His readout included examples he noted from the bill: a $707,000 water contract that covered three cities (Killian among them), a $100,000 award for a children’s advocacy center, $125,000 for Walker Parks and Recreation, $75,000 for Livingston Parish School Board capital improvements, $932,000 for the Livingston Parish Fair Association, and multiple smaller allocations for police and fire districts.
Committee members thanked Burns and asked him to follow up, specifically to call Killian to confirm its share of the $707,000 item. Burns said he would try to call the following day and provide updates to the committee.
No formal committee action was taken on HB460 at the meeting; Burns’ summary was informational and members requested verification of amounts and recipients before any formal recommendations or further steps.
