This bill proposes an amendment to Article I, Section 4(B)(4) of the Louisiana Constitution, specifically addressing the right to property. The amendment seeks to prohibit expropriation of property by private entities that are classified as foreign adversaries or their agents, as defined by law. The current provision allows for property to be taken or damaged by private entities authorized to expropriate, provided it is for a public and necessary purpose and just compensation is paid. The proposed change adds a clear restriction against foreign adversaries engaging in such actions.

The amendment will be submitted to the voters of Louisiana for approval during the statewide election scheduled for November 3, 2026. The ballot will include a proposition asking electors whether they support the amendment to prohibit expropriation of property by foreign adversaries. This legislative action reflects a growing concern over property rights in the context of foreign influence and aims to safeguard local property owners from potential expropriation by foreign entities.
