House Concurrent Resolution No. by Representative Domangue expresses the Louisiana Legislature's commitment to protecting private property rights, particularly in the context of carbon dioxide sequestration. The resolution acknowledges the concerns of private property owners regarding the potential violation of their constitutional rights when carbon capture and sequestration companies are granted the authority to expropriate land. It references Article I, Section 4 of the Louisiana Constitution, which guarantees the right to acquire and control private property, and highlights the passage of Act 414 during the 2025 Regular Session, which established important protections for property owners facing expropriation.

The resolution outlines specific procedural requirements that carbon dioxide sequestration companies must follow before initiating expropriation proceedings, including providing written notice to landowners, allowing them to be present during property inspections, engaging in good faith negotiations, and submitting a written offer with just compensation details. By reemphasizing the provisions of Act 414, the resolution aims to raise public awareness of these protections and reaffirm the Legislature's dedication to safeguarding the property rights of Louisiana citizens against potential infringements related to carbon dioxide sequestration activities.
