House Bill No. 192 proposes a constitutional amendment to Article I, Section 4(B)(4) of the Louisiana Constitution, which currently allows for the expropriation of property by private entities authorized by law, provided it is for a public and necessary purpose and with just compensation to the owner. The amendment seeks to add a specific prohibition against expropriation by any private entity that is classified as a foreign adversary or an agent of a foreign adversary, as defined by law. This change aims to protect property rights from foreign entities, ensuring that such adversaries cannot take or damage property under the guise of expropriation.

The proposed 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 voters whether they support the amendment to prohibit expropriation of property by foreign adversaries or their agents. This legislative action reflects a growing concern over foreign influence and aims to safeguard the property rights of Louisiana residents.
