Louisiana port planning moves under transportation officials

The law moves Louisiana’s Ports and Waterways Investment Commission from the governor’s office into the transportation department’s Office of Multimodal Commerce. The commission remains based in East Baton Rouge Parish and represents the public interest in port and waterways investment planning. It advises and reports to the multimodal commerce commissioner instead of the governor on the specified matters. It also makes reports and recommendations on its own or when requested by the commissioner, lawmakers, or legislative committees. Funding for its strategic plan and investment program requires agreement between the commissioner and the legislature; no amount is set.
