House Bill No. by Representative Lyons aims to establish regulations concerning online marketplaces by enacting R.S. 51:3267. The bill defines key terms such as "local governing authority," which refers to the legislative bodies of cities, municipalities, parishes, or other political subdivisions in Louisiana, and "online marketplace," which includes entities that facilitate transactions through various platforms. Notably, the bill clarifies that online marketplaces do not encompass local or state governmental entities or vendors.

The primary focus of the bill is to prohibit local governing authorities from regulating the operation of online marketplaces. Additionally, it restricts these authorities from requiring online marketplaces to disclose personally identifiable information of users unless there is an administrative subpoena or court order. This legislation seeks to protect the operational integrity of online marketplaces while ensuring user privacy.
