House Bill No. [insert bill number] aims to enact R.S. 9:2800.31, which establishes legal protections for aerospace flight activities in Louisiana. The bill defines "aerospace flight activities" and "aerospace flight entity," encompassing a wide range of actions related to the research, development, and operation of aerospace vehicles. It prohibits the issuance of temporary restraining orders, injunctions, or any equitable relief that would impede these activities, declaring such actions null and void. Additionally, any claims against aerospace flight entities arising from these activities are subject to a motion to strike under the Code of Civil Procedure.
Furthermore, the bill bars claims for damages related to property use, emotional distress, or other losses that could be classified as nuisance or trespass if they stem from aerospace flight activities. It also recognizes the enforceability of reciprocal waivers of claims between parties involved in aerospace activities, as per federal regulations. Lastly, aerospace flight entities are presumed to be acting lawfully if they comply with relevant federal, state, and local regulations. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action.
