§ RS 6:943. Listing and assessing of stock; place

A.  The stock shall be assessed at the percent of their valuation made by the assessing authorities to the stockholders at the domicile or location of the capital stock association who appear as such upon the books, regardless of the domicile of the stockholders and regardless of any transfer not registered or entered upon the books.  When any capital stock association operates one or more branch offices in any parish or parishes other than the parish of its domicile, its assessment shall be divided for state and local purposes, and the number of shares of stock, or fractions thereof, to be assessed in each parish in which such capital stock association and its branches are maintained shall be determined by the proportion which the capital stock association and branch of such association bears to the whole capital stock.

B.  In the event that for any reason it should be held by the courts that any portion of this Section is unconstitutional, such invalidity shall not affect the enforcement of the remainder of this Section and all such capital stock associations shall then be assessed at the location or domicile of the main office in the same manner as capital stock associations without branches for current and back taxes.
