HB 227 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CIVIL/PROCEDURE: Provides for continuous revisions relative to civil procedure

HB 227 is a procedural amendment bill that modifies the state's civil procedure code by removing specific sections and renumbering remaining articles. The legislation directly affects legal practitioners and courts by deleting references to certain statutes and eliminating provisions related to interrupting prescription periods. By excising these specific lines and adjusting section numbers, the bill streamlines the existing legal framework without introducing new substantive rules or policies.
