House Bill No. by Representative Jackson appropriates a total of $330,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to cover consent judgments against the state in two consolidated cases: "William Mangum, individually and as surviving father of Hayden Lane Mangum v. Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries" and "Jackie Shaw Mangum v. State of Louisiana." Each judgment amounts to $165,000, with one judgment in favor of William Mangum signed on May 29, 2024, and the other in favor of Jackie Shaw Mangum signed on May 24, 2024. The funds will be allocated through the Department of Transportation and Development.

The bill outlines specific conditions for the payment of these judgments, stating that payments will only be made for final judgments and will include principal, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded. It also establishes that interest on the judgments will cease to accrue as of the effective date of the bill, which will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for gubernatorial action. Additionally, the bill clarifies that if there are any conflicts between the provisions of the judgments and the proposed law, the judgment provisions will take precedence.
