House Bill No. by Representative Galle seeks to enhance national security by prohibiting foreign adversaries and prohibited foreign actors from owning, acquiring, leasing, or obtaining any interest in land adjacent to military installations in Louisiana. The bill introduces a new section to the Louisiana Revised Statutes that defines key terms such as "foreign adversary," "military installation," and "military-installation-adjacent land." It establishes civil penalties for violations, including a $50,000 fine and potential forfeiture of property if not divested within a year of a judgment. Exceptions are made for U.S. citizens and lawful residents, and the bill allows for the sale or conveyance of ownership interests in such land under certain conditions.

Furthermore, the bill grants the attorney general the authority to take civil action against violators, including seeking injunctive relief, conducting investigations, and rescinding contracts if a foreign adversary is found to have an ownership interest. It also allows the attorney general to issue orders for divestiture and impose civil forfeiture on properties acquired in violation of the law. The provisions of this bill will apply only to immovable property acquired by foreign adversaries or prohibited foreign actors on or after August 1, 2026, and it includes judicial review processes and limitations of liability for parties involved in property transactions.
