HB 1099 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

CIVIL/ACTIONS: Prohibits certain actions for damages resulting from aerospace activities

This bill creates new protections for aerospace companies in Louisiana by limiting legal claims related to space flight activities. It prohibits lawsuits seeking damages for property interference, emotional distress, or property value loss that result from aerospace operations, and it prevents courts from issuing orders that would delay or stop these activities. The law also establishes that aerospace companies are presumed to be acting legally if they follow federal, state, and local permits, and it recognizes waivers of claims between parties involved in aerospace projects. These provisions directly affect aerospace flight entities, their employees and contractors, and property owners near aerospace facilities.
