House Resolution No. by Representative Gregory Miller authorizes the House Committee on Civil Law, or a subcommittee, to conduct a study on the venue provisions concerning foreign or alien insurers and the doctrine of forum non conveniens. This resolution highlights existing provisions in the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure, particularly Article 42, which mandates that actions against foreign or alien insurers be filed in East Baton Rouge Parish. It also notes the potential conflicts and questions raised by courts regarding the applicability of general venue rules to these specific cases.

The resolution calls for the committee to report its findings before the 2024 Regular Session of the Louisiana Legislature, ensuring that any recommendations or insights gained from the study are available for legislative consideration. Additionally, it stipulates that both a print and electronic copy of the report be submitted to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, in compliance with state law.
