PROPERTY/EXPROPRIATION: Provides relative to expropriated property near a military base

This bill updates Louisiana law to clarify which entities can expropriate private property for public infrastructure projects, including railroads, utilities, and natural gas pipelines. It requires expropriating authorities to attempt to negotiate fair compensation with property owners before initiating legal proceedings to take land. The legislation also adds new restrictions preventing expropriated property from being sold or donated to foreign powers, aliens, or corporations controlled by foreign adversaries. These changes aim to balance infrastructure development needs with property rights protections and national security concerns.
