A JOINT RESOLUTION Proposing to amend Article I, Section 4(B)(4) of the Constitution of Louisiana, relative to the right to property; to prohibit expropriation by foreign adversaries; to provide for submission of the proposed amendment to the electors; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to the state of Louisiana that would prohibit any private entity identified as a "foreign adversary" or an agent of a foreign adversary, as defined by law, from taking or damaging private property. Currently, Louisiana law allows private entities to expropriate, or take, property for public and necessary purposes with just compensation, but this amendment would add a specific restriction preventing foreign adversaries from engaging in such actions. The proposed change would be added to Article I, Section 4(B)(4) of the Louisiana Constitution, and if approved by the legislature, it will be put before the voters for their approval or rejection in the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026.
