SB 498 Louisiana Senate · 2024 Regular Session

TRUSTS: Provides for special charitable trusts. (gov sig)

SB 498 amends the state's laws regarding special charitable trusts by making specific textual changes to the bill's language. The primary effect of these amendments is to update the wording used to describe the actions and conditions required of individuals involved in these trusts. By replacing pronouns like "He" with the gender-neutral term "Acted" and adjusting the structure of the clauses, the bill ensures the text applies more broadly without specifying gender. This procedural update allows the legislation to cover a wider range of people while maintaining the core requirements for establishing charitable trusts.
