PRESCRIPTION: Provides relative to legislative intent of certain Acts relating to causes of action for abuse of a minor.

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution expresses the Louisiana Legislature's intent that laws regarding sexual abuse of minors should not have time limits on when victims can file lawsuits. It specifically addresses a recent court ruling that declared previous attempts to revive expired claims unconstitutional, arguing that such time limits do not create permanent rights for the accused. The bill asserts that the state has a legitimate interest in addressing child abuse by allowing victims to seek justice regardless of how much time has passed since the abuse occurred. Ultimately, it serves as a formal legislative statement supporting the removal of expiration dates for these specific legal claims.

INSURANCE: Requests the commissioner of insurance to investigate the potential for creating a Coastal Reinsurance Assistance Program

Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution asks the Louisiana Commissioner of Insurance to study the possibility of launching a Coastal Reinsurance Assistance Program.

The bill directs the insurance department to complete this investigation and report its findings to the legislature by February 1, 2025.
