Trend

This report identifies 485 boards, commissions, and like entities, as of June 30, 2013. Ourcurrent and previous reports include the following number of entities:

Growth of Entities Year Number of Entities1992 3381993 3601994 4411995 4541996 4561997 4181998 4281999 4582000 4812001 4802002 4792003 4872004 5132005 4852006 4632007 4742008 4842009 4912010 4952011 4922012 4922013 485

Since 1992, these comparisons reflect an increase in the growth of boards, commissions, and likeentities. The 1997 and 2005 decreases in the number of such entities are primarily attributable tothe termination, in accordance with R.S. 49:215(C), of entities that were created by executiveorder. Since our last report, 12 entities were created and 19 entities were either repealed by law,terminated in accordance with law or executive order, or otherwise removed.

The recommendations included in this report are intended to control the growth of boards,commissions, and like entities.

Boards and Commissions Per Diem Freeze

During fiscal year 2012, Executive Orders BJ 12-09 and 12-20 were issued. These executiveorders directed that all expenditures for per diem to members of all boards, commissions,authorities, task forces, and committees in the executive branch of government be terminated.However, the following were exempted from the provisions of the executive order: (1) electedmembers of boards, commissions, authorities, task forces, and committees who are authorized bylaw to receive a per diem; (2) members of boards, commissions, authorities, task forces, andcommittees who are statutorily authorized and entitled to the payment of per diem on their ownwarrant; and (3) exemptions granted by the commissioner of administration as may be necessarydue to extreme economic hardships which would otherwise result to a member of a board,

commission, authority, task force, or committee. Because of the exemptions, the executiveorders had little or no fiscal impact on the boards, commissions, and like entities listed in thisreport. Executive Orders BJ 12-09 and BJ 12-20 are attached in Appendix B.
