The resolution requests the House Committee on Natural Resources and Environment to conduct a study on compensation for owners of stranded minerals due to eminent domain, unitization, or other economic actions. It emphasizes the importance of fair compensation for private property owners, particularly concerning mineral rights, and highlights the need to examine current practices and policies governing such compensation in Louisiana. The study aims to address issues related to stranded mineral reserves, additional costs incurred from drilling and operations, and the implications of carbon capture activities on mineral owners.

The findings from this comprehensive study are expected to provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by private property owners, industry stakeholders, and local communities. It will involve input from legal scholars, economists, industry representatives, landowners, and advocacy groups, ultimately serving as a foundation for potential legislative and regulatory reforms. The House Committee is tasked with reporting its findings to the House of Representatives before the 2025 Regular Session, ensuring that the resolution's objectives are met in a timely manner.
