This bill amends the Louisiana Geologic Sequestration of Carbon Dioxide Act, specifically R.S. 30:1108(C), to clarify the procedures for expropriation under this law. The amendment establishes that the eminent domain authority will follow the procedures outlined in R.S. 19:2, while also affirming that this authority is supplementary to any other eminent domain powers granted by law.

A significant change introduced by the bill is the specification that expropriation hearings must be conducted in the parish where the property in question is located, overriding any conflicting laws. This aims to ensure that local jurisdictions have a direct role in the expropriation process, thereby enhancing community involvement and oversight.
