HB1256

Provides with respect to abandoned digital assets

Complete·6/9/26

Louisiana HB1256 establishes procedures for handling abandoned digital assets, including definitions, custody standards, and liquidation rules.

Louisiana HB1256 amends existing law to address abandoned digital assets, defining terms such as "digital asset," "digital asset holder," and "private key." It sets a three-year period for presuming digital assets abandoned, exempting them from public sale rules. Digital asset holders must transfer assets to the administrator if they can, or report them and provide records if they cannot. The administrator cannot liquidate digital assets for three years unless certain conditions are met.
