§2184. Levy special benefit assessments
A. A compact formed under the provisions of this Chapter may levy special benefit assessments for needed public rail transit facilities and services on the property which benefits from those facilities and services.

The intrastate rail compact transit facilities and services provide special benefits to parcels of land, and improvements thereon, in the vicinity of rail rapid transit stations, and provide general benefits to the community at large. The board of directors of a compact shall be conclusive judge of the proportion of special and general benefits produced by the facilities and of the distribution of the special benefits among parcels of property within the benefit assessment district.
C. The compact may exercise the powers granted to an economic development district pursuant to R.S. 33:9038.33 and 9038.34 as if the compact is such an economic development district; however, no state tax increments shall be dedicated to pay any revenue bonds of any compact or be otherwise used to obligate the state financially to support a compact or projects of a compact.
