Senate Bill No. by Senator Pressly introduces the "Louisiana Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2026," aimed at bolstering the security of the state's critical infrastructure against foreign adversaries. The bill outlines measures to prevent foreign access to critical infrastructure, assess vulnerabilities related to sanctioned communications equipment, and prohibits the use of adversary technologies, such as certain cameras and laser sensors, in transportation systems. It also defines key terms like "critical infrastructure," "foreign adversary," and "cybersecurity," and establishes requirements for companies seeking access to critical infrastructure, including background checks and data storage protocols.

Additionally, the legislation creates the Foreign Adversary Fraud Office (FAFO) within the attorney general's consumer protection division to address violations of consumer fraud laws related to foreign adversary technologies. It establishes the Foreign Adversary Technology Rip and Replace Fund (FATRRP) to facilitate the replacement of these technologies in state and local government systems. The Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness will oversee compliance, investigate potential threats, and maintain a public listing of prohibited technologies. The provisions of this act are set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
