| Advisory opinion regarding whether the members of the Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Board are required to file annual financial disclosure statements pursuant to La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1. |
|
The Northeast Delta Human Services Authority Board was created by statute as a special authority to direct the operation and management of community-based programs and services relative to mental health, developmental disabilities, and addictive disorders services, including Early Childhood Support and Services, and the Regional Transition Program.
The board is managed by an Executive Director. The Executive Director must submit a financial report to the board monthly. In the by-laws, it provides that the board must approve requests which allocate the expenditure of $10,000 or more on a single program within a 12 month period. Although some authority for financial expenditures has been delegated, the Executive Director is still accountable to the board.

La. R.S. 42:1124.2.1 requires financial disclosure for each member and designee of a board or commission which has the authority to expend, disburse or invest $10,000 or more of funds in a fiscal year on or before May 15th of each year during which the person holds office and the year following termination of the holding of such office.
