BLIGHTED PROPERTY: Provides relative to blighted property. (8/1/26)
SB 231 requires Louisiana's state housing agency to maintain a statewide online database of blighted properties using a "housing locator system." This system must be updated regularly and made publicly accessible via the agency's website. The bill directly affects the state housing agency (which must implement the system) and the public (which gains online access to the blighted property list). It creates a concrete mechanism for transparency by standardizing how blighted property data is collected and shared, replacing previous methods with a centralized, public digital resource.
