RS 2308 - Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Corporation not taxable

The corporation shall be considered a political instrumentality of the state, and shall be exempt from any corporate income tax. However, the corporation is not and shall not be deemed a department, unit, or agency of the state. All debts, claims, obligations, and liabilities of the corporation, whenever and however incurred, shall be the debts, claims, obligations, and liabilities of the corporation only, and not of the state, its agencies, officers, or employees. Corporation funds shall not be considered part of the general fund of the state, and the state shall not appropriate corporation funds. The state's contribution to the corporation is limited to those funds collected by the corporation pursuant to the authority granted under R.S. 22:2303(B), and the state shall not budget for or provide general fund appropriations to the corporation. The premiums, assessments, investment income, and other revenue of the corporation are funds received for providing property insurance coverage as required by this Section, paying claims for Louisiana citizens insured by the corporation's plans, securing and repaying debt obligations issued by the corporation, and conducting all other activities of the corporation, and shall not be considered taxes, fees, licenses, or charges for services imposed by the legislature on individuals, businesses, or agencies outside state government. It is the intent of the legislature that the tax exemptions provided in this Section will augment the financial resources of the corporation to better enable fulfillment of the public purpose. Any bonds issued by or on behalf of the corporation and the plans, their transfer, and the income therefrom, including any profit made on the sale thereof, shall at all times be free from taxation of every kind by the state and any political subdivision or local unit or other instrumentality thereof.
