The proposed legislation enacts Part B of Chapter 51 of Title 51 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes, titled the "Louisiana Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of 2026." This new part aims to safeguard the state's critical infrastructure from foreign adversaries by prohibiting their access and assessing vulnerabilities related to sanctioned communications equipment. It specifically bans the use of adversary cameras and laser sensor technologies in Louisiana's transportation systems. The bill also outlines definitions for key terms such as "critical infrastructure," "foreign adversary," and "operational command authority," and establishes rules for the construction and application of the law in alignment with federal regulations.

Additionally, the bill prohibits companies and governmental entities from entering agreements that would allow foreign adversaries to exercise operational command over critical infrastructure. It includes provisions for the removal of prohibited software from state infrastructure and clarifies that certain telecommunications and electric utility providers are exempt if they comply with federal law. The enforcement of these provisions will be overseen by the attorney general, who can initiate civil proceedings against violators. The legislation is set to take effect in phases, with certain sections becoming effective on August 1, 2026, and the enforcement provisions on November 29, 2026.
