SB200

Louisiana SB200 allows expropriation of land near military bases owned by foreign adversaries or their agents if it poses a threat to public health.

Louisiana SB200 enacts provisions to protect military bases by allowing the expropriation of land within 50 miles of a military base if owned by a foreign adversary or their agent. This applies regardless of when the property was acquired. The state must demonstrate that the ownership poses a threat to public health and safety. The bill defines "foreign adversary" and "agent of a foreign adversary" based on criteria set by the U.S. Department of Commerce and Treasury. Expropriations must follow the procedures outlined in the Louisiana Relocation Assistance Act.
