Senate Resolution No. urges the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study and evaluation of legislation related to the creation of mineral servitudes in the context of specific economic development projects. The resolution highlights the existing provisions under R.S. 31:149, which outlines the conditions under which mineral servitudes can be considered imprescriptible, particularly noting an exception for certain projects that involve cooperative endeavor agreements and are certified by the Louisiana Economic Development secretary. This exception allows for a twenty-year period of nonuse prescription for mineral servitudes, but significant issues have emerged regarding the current framework.

The resolution calls for the Louisiana State Law Institute to provide recommendations and report its findings to the Louisiana Legislature by February 1, 2027. It emphasizes the need for a thorough examination of the established regime of mineral servitudes and the implications for economic development initiatives. Additionally, a copy of the resolution will be sent to the director of the Louisiana State Law Institute to ensure proper communication and follow-up on the study's progress.
