House Bill No. 635 aims to address criminal activities committed by agents of foreign adversaries or foreign terrorist organizations in Louisiana. The bill introduces a new section, Part IV-A of Chapter 2 of Title 14, titled the "Protection of Constitutional Liberties in Louisiana Act." It outlines legislative intent, defines key terms such as "agent of a foreign adversary," "foreign law," and "transnational repression," and establishes prohibitions against certain actions taken by these agents. Specifically, it prohibits them from committing criminal offenses while acting under the influence of foreign entities, coercing individuals to act on their behalf, or retaliating against individuals for engaging in constitutionally protected conduct.

The bill also stipulates penalties for violations, including additional prison time for noncapital felonies and fines based on the nature of the offense. Furthermore, it declares that any court decision based on foreign law that infringes upon rights guaranteed by the U.S. or Louisiana constitutions is void and unenforceable. Additionally, the Louisiana Bureau of Investigation is authorized to develop a training program for recognizing and responding to transnational repression, with implementation expected by July 1, 2027. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for gubernatorial action.
