SB 246 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

CIVIL PROCEDURE: Provides for the prescriptive period for certain actions for abuse of a minor. (6/14/24)

This bill amends the legal timeline for filing lawsuits related to the abuse of minors by removing references to a previous 2021 law. The primary change involves deleting specific citations from the text, which effectively updates how the statute is referenced without altering the core prescriptive period itself. By streamlining the legal language, the bill ensures the current rules for these cases remain clear and consistent with existing statutes.
