Answer

There does not appear to be any guidance by the Attorney General or the court. However, unless the non-profit is required to comply with the provisions of R.S. 42:341, et seq. as part of its agreement with the public entity as a condition for the receipt of public funds, the provisions of R.S. 42:341, et seq. do not appear to apply to a private non-profit. The provisions of R.S. 42:341(1) defines “agency” for the purposes of the law as: A department, office, division, agency, commission, board, committee, or other organizational unit of a governmental agency. A private non-profit that is solely considered quasi-public due to the receipt of public funds does not appear to meet this definition. Louisiana Legislative Auditor website: 04/29/2025 10:44:44 PM
