The Louisiana Constitution currently prohibits the state or any local government from "loaning, pledging, or donating its funds, credit, property, or things of value," to any person, association, or corporation; though it provides certain exceptions. The amendment would add a new exception to this requirement in order to allow local governments to waive water charges for customers if water is lost due to water delivery infrastructure damages if such damages are not caused by the customer's actions or the customer's failure to act.
