HB 686 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

PROPERTY/SERVITUDES: Provides relative to pipeline servitudes

HB 686 is a procedural amendment bill that modifies the language of a previous law regarding pipeline servitudes. The bill changes specific words from mandatory terms like "shall" to optional terms like "may" or "is," which alters how property rights are described in the statute. These changes directly affect the legal text governing pipelines but do not introduce new policies or regulations. The bill is currently in the legislative process and has not yet been enacted into law.
