Upon the transfer of functions, any pending or unfinished business shall be taken over and completed by the Louisiana Board of Institutions or the Board of Parole and the Bureau of Probation and Parole with the same power and authority had by the agency from which the functions are transferred. The Louisiana Board of Institutions shall be the successor in every way to the agency from which such functions are transferred, subject to the specific provisions of this Chapter, and every act done in the exercise of such functions by the Board shall be deemed to have the same force and effect under any provisions of law in effect as if done by the agency from which such functions are transferred.
