APPROPRIATIONS/JUDGMENT: Appropriates funds for payment of the consent judgment against the state in the suit captioned Milton G. Brady v. The McCarty Corporation, et al

This bill allocates $65,000 from Louisiana's State General Fund to pay a consent judgment in a lawsuit between Southern University and several individuals. The funds will cover the principal amount, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees awarded in the February 2024 settlement. The money can only be used after the judgment is finalized and proper documentation is submitted to the state treasurer. Once paid, the state will no longer owe interest on this specific debt.
