This bill enacts R.S. 17:1518.3, which mandates the transfer of specific state property in Caddo Parish from the Department of Transportation and Development to the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center at Shreveport. The property includes four tracts of land located in Salisbury Park Subdivision and Samford Place Subdivision, along with all improvements on the land. The bill also authorizes the commissioner of administration and the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development to execute necessary documents to facilitate this transfer, which is set to take effect on July 1, 2026. Additionally, the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center is required to document the transfer in the conveyance records for Caddo Parish.
Furthermore, the bill repeals Sections 5 through 8 of Act No. 93 from the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature, which previously granted authority to the commissioner of administration and the secretary of the Department of Transportation and Development to transfer certain property in Caddo Parish. This repeal effectively removes the prior authority and streamlines the process for the specified property transfer to the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center. The bill will become effective upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without signature.
