SR 155 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

SERVITUDES: Requests the Louisiana State Law Institute to study and evaluate the creation of mineral servitudes in connection with certain economic development projects.

This resolution asks the Louisiana State Law Institute to study how mineral rights, known as mineral servitudes, should be handled for specific economic development projects. The study focuses on clarifying rules that currently prevent these rights from expiring due to nonuse when projects are officially certified by the state. The Institute is tasked with reviewing issues related to a proposed 2026 bill and providing recommendations for new laws by February 1, 2027. This action does not change any current laws but initiates a formal review process to address potential legal gaps in the state's economic development framework.
