(2)  Change the source of funds for any project.

(3)  Change the local match required of any project.

(4)  Change the entity for which the project funding has been appropriated, except to correct the legal name of such entity or unless the entity provides to the commission its written consent for such change.

(5)  Change the parish and/or other political subdivision in which the description requires the project to be located.

C.  The board shall not consider or authorize an adjustment to any project description unless it receives a written request for such adjustment from the legislators in whose district or districts the project is located and from the entity for which the project funding has been appropriated.
