DIGEST
SB 108 Original 2024 Regular Session Seabaugh
Present law provides expropriating authority to the state and its political subdivisions, and certain
corporations, limited liability companies, or other legal entities.
Present law authorizes domestic and foreign corporations, limited liability companies, or other legal
entities created for the purpose of generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity and steam for
power, lighting, heating, or other such uses to expropriate needed property.
Proposed law retains present law and prohibits expropriation, whether for generating plants,
buildings, transmission lines, stations or substations, or associated facilities, unless at the time of the
expropriation a majority of the electricity or steam power to be generated, transmitted, or distributed
is intended to be delivered to end-users located within Louisiana.
Effective August 1, 2024.
