PRESCRIPTION: Provides for a legal holiday in the accrual of prescription. (8/1/25)

SB 114 amends Louisiana's Civil Code to change how prescription periods (the time limits for filing lawsuits) are calculated. It states that if the final day of a prescription period falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the deadline automatically extends to the next business day. This directly affects individuals and businesses involved in civil cases, such as personal injury claims or contract disputes, where timing is critical. The change ensures parties aren't unfairly penalized for deadlines falling on non-business days.
