PROPERTY/VACANT SUBSTAND: Provides relative to the demolition of certain dilapidated property in the city of Shreveport
This bill requires commercial property owners in Shreveport to demolish their buildings if they receive fire insurance payments and the property becomes dilapidated and dangerous to residents. The law applies retroactively to January 1, 2023, and forward, mandating demolition rather than repair when fire damage leaves structures unsafe. It specifically targets commercial properties in the city that pose health and welfare risks after fire-related insurance claims. The measure gives the city authority to enforce demolition orders under these specific conditions.

MINOR
This bill was finalized and enacted into law, changing its status from a draft proposal to an approved act. The most significant substantive change is the correction of the statute number from R.S. 33:4574.1 to R.S. 33:4754.1 to align with the correct legislative code. The core requirement for property owners to demolish dilapidated structures after receiving fire insurance payments remains unchanged.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on the city of Shreveport, but the specific section of the state code where the law is recorded was updated to the correct number.
TECHNICAL
The statute number was corrected from R.S. 33:4574.1 to R.S. 33:4754.1 throughout the document.
Drafting headers, legislative service digests, and original proposal notes were removed as the bill is no longer in draft form.
TIMELINE
The text was updated to reflect that the bill has been enrolled, approved by the Governor, and is now official law (Act No. 869).
