Equipment Financing Program - LEAF

The Office of State Purchasing and Travel has established the Louisiana Equipment Acquisition Fund (LEAF) program. This is a self administered internal finance program. The equipment which may be financed through the LEAF program includes those items which historically have been rented or leased and those equipment items historically placed in the bond portion of the Capital Outlay Bill.

The eligible program participants are all budgeted state agencies contained within the General Appropriation and Ancillary Appropriations Acts. Agencies should contact State Purchasing to determine eligibility for this program.
