The bill, HB 339, addresses motions for summary judgment and introduces several amendments to current law. Notably, it modifies the language regarding the rendering of judgments by deleting the term "summary" and expands the scope of the law to include "procuration" alongside "mandate." Additionally, the bill clarifies that evidence can be admitted to establish the fault of a principal when actions are taken under a mandate or procuration, which are defined in the bill.

Furthermore, the proposed law stipulates that in the event of a conflict between its provisions and any other Act from the 2023 Regular Session, the provisions of this bill will take precedence. This ensures that the new regulations regarding summary judgment and the admission of evidence will control regardless of the order in which other laws were passed. The bill ultimately aims to refine the legal framework surrounding summary judgments and the responsibilities of parties involved in such cases.
