A source-linked tracker of Louisiana AI and data-center legal instruments already in the LouisianAI registry. Rows that are not here are unlisted on purpose: this desk does not invent bills.

The sourced statewide instruments on LouisianAI are the OTS AI Acceptable Use Policy (effective September 29, 2025), Act 730 / La. R.S. 47:305.73 as converted by Act 11 into a data-center sales-and-use exemption, LDOE's K–12 AI plan, and BESE's reported AI Readiness Pipeline. A complete 2026 Regular Session bill list is not in this registry.
Act 730 (HB 827, 2024 Regular Session) and Act 11 (HB 10, 2024 Third Extraordinary Session) are data-center tax statutes, not a general AI code. They belong in a 2026 policy tracker because they are the controlling Louisiana incentive for AI data-center campuses.
