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, including motor fuel and petroleum products. It aims to prevent local governments from enacting ordinances that would restrict the use, sale, or taxation of fuel used in agricultural machinery and fishery equipment, ensuring uniformity across the state.
Additionally, the bill explicitly prohibits local regulations that 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 seeks to streamline regulations and protect the interests of agricultural and fishery operations in Louisiana.
