House Bill No. by Representative McMakin appropriates $3,639.68 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to pay a consent judgment in the case of "State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development v. Martin T. Frey et al." This judgment, signed on July 14, 2022, involves the state and the Louisiana Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company as a subrogee of Four Oaks Farm. The bill outlines that payment will cover principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded in the judgment, and specifies that the judgment must be final for payment to be made.

Additionally, the bill includes provisions that clarify the relationship between the judgment and the proposed law, stating that if there are any conflicts, the judgment will take precedence. It also stipulates that interest on the judgment will cease to accrue as of the effective date of the proposed law. The act will become effective upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
