Louisiana HB1016 appropriates $25,000 from the State General Fund to pay a consent judgment against the state in a lawsuit.
Louisiana HB1016 allocates $25,000 from the State General Fund for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 to settle a consent judgment in the case Deborah L. Reynolds v. Beauregard Parish Police Jury, et al. The judgment includes principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees. If the judgment's terms conflict with the act, the judgment's terms take precedence. Payment will only be made after the state treasurer presents the judgment. The act also stipulates that the judgment will be considered paid on the act's effective date, halting interest accrual from that date.
