House Bill No. by Representative Villio appropriates $25,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to cover the payment of a consent judgment in the case of "Troy Singleton versus State Farm Fire & Casualty Insurance Company and Terrill Talamo Agency, L.L.C." This judgment, which was signed on January 17, 2024, involves the state of Louisiana through the Department of Transportation and Development and is recorded under Number 2018-13505 in the Twenty-Second Judicial District, parish of St. Tammany. The bill stipulates that the payment will include principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded in the judgment, and it will only be made after the necessary documentation is presented to the state treasurer.

The bill also 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. Additionally, it specifies that interest on the judgment will cease to accrue as of the effective date of the proposed law. The act will become effective either upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action has lapsed.
