The Exceptional Performance and Efficiency Incentive Program is established under R.S. 39:87.5 as part of the Louisiana Government Performance and Accountability Act.

Under this program, the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget determines which agencies receive a reward from monies appropriated each year from the Incentive Fund (a special treasury fund established for the purpose of providing rewards to state agencies and employees). The committee's Performance Review Subcommittee conducts committee responsibilities with respect this initiative. Proposals are due on November 15th. Those verified by the Legislative Auditor to be factually accurate are considered by the subcommittee for determination whether a reward is in order. They are judged on factual and qualitative bases. Rewards granted by the subcommittee must be awarded prior to March 1st.

 
The Performance Review Subcommittee of the JLCB has adopted rules for adminstration of this program. Proposers are encouraged to review these rules prior to preparation of their proposal.
NOTE: Reductions in expenditures must be attributable to specific acts of employees in the agency. Reductions in budget such as across-the-board budget cuts or other mandated reductions do not qualify.
 

The Performance Review Subcommittee must receive final and complete original proposals bearing original signatures by 5:00 p.m. on November 15th.Seven copies of the proposal should also be submitted.
