HB 659 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

TAX/PROPERTY: Increases certain penalties relative to certain prohibited actions regarding tax sale property (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF RV See Note)

HB 659 is a procedural bill that does not create new penalties or change tax sale rules on its own. Instead, it adds a condition stating that the law will end if a related bill, SB 505, is passed and becomes effective. This measure directly affects the timeline of existing tax sale regulations by linking their continuation to the outcome of another legislative proposal.
