The proposed bill enacts Chapter 15-B of Title 33 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, titled the "Landscape and Fishery Equipment and Agricultural Fairness Act." This legislation establishes definitions for "agricultural machinery" and "fishery equipment," and outlines the types of fuel used in these operations. It specifically prohibits local governments from enacting laws that restrict the use, sale, or taxation of fuel used in agricultural machinery and fishery equipment, ensuring uniformity across the state.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that local regulations cannot create differing standards for fuel used in agricultural machinery and fishery equipment compared to other fuels. It also exempts the use of agricultural machinery and fishery equipment on property owned by a parish or municipality from these regulations. Overall, the bill aims to protect the agricultural and fishery sectors from potentially burdensome local regulations.
