This bill amends R.S. 30:1108(C) of the Louisiana Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Act to clarify the procedures for expropriation hearings. The new language specifies that expropriation hearings must be conducted in the parish where the property in question is located, ensuring that local jurisdiction is maintained in these proceedings.

Additionally, the bill reaffirms that the eminent domain authority exercised under this chapter is supplementary to any other powers of eminent domain provided by law. This amendment aims to streamline the expropriation process while ensuring that property owners have their hearings in their local area.
