What Louisiana law says about recovery services

Louisiana caps locator compensation at 10% of the claim value and voids any locate agreement signed before 24 months have passed since the property reached the state administrator. Locators must submit a notarized payment request to the state disclosing the fee, with both agent and owner signatures, and a court can reduce any fee found to be unconscionable.
