House Bill No. by Representative Fisher appropriates $20,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to pay a consent judgment in the case of Randall Clint Lewis v. State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development. The judgment, signed on January 3, 2025, is associated with docket number 49,930 in the Third Judicial District, parish of Union. The bill stipulates that payment will cover 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 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 upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the time for bills to become law without signature expires.
