Louisiana – Governor Jeff Landry has signed an executive order prohibiting the automatic extensions of state-leased buildings, ensuring that all lease-related decisions undergo thorough review.
Under the new directive, agency heads must now submit justification for extensions, amendments, or new leases to the Division of Administration for approval.
The executive order aims to promote fiscal responsibility and accountability in state government operations.
By requiring a formal review process for lease decisions, the administration seeks to eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent effectively.
“Fiscal responsibility is a top priority for our administration. Today’s executive order is part of a broader effort to modernize state government operations, eliminate waste, improve efficiency, and ensure taxpayer dollars are used effectively,” Governor Landry stated.
The move is part of the governor’s ongoing efforts to streamline government processes and ensure transparency in state spending.
