State can transfer land in Bossier Parish

The law lets Louisiana State University's governing board and the commissioner of administration transfer or lease specified Bossier Parish land. Transactions must provide value proportionate to the property's appraised value; sales must follow state fair-market-value procedures. Mineral rights stay with the state, and existing recorded rights and easements remain protected. The law also confirms recorded ownership and boundaries for Louisiana Downs and other buyers, including the state. Private tracts include 302.075 acres, about 40 acres, about 8.30 acres, and a separately described Section 21 parcel. State purchases cover about 70.115 acres, including tracts of about 22.510 and 1.552 acres. Part of the 1.552-acre tract between Alligator Bayou's ordinary low-water lines is excluded and remains subject to a state claim. Five tracts are excluded from the transfer authority, including a 4-acre tract and Interstate 20 and Interstate 220 rights-of-way. The law creates no new household taxes, fees, or benefits.
