House Bill No. by Representative Ventrella appropriates $450,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to cover the payment of a consent judgment in the case "Jared Marchand v. State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development." This judgment, signed on February 10, 2025, is associated with the Twenty-First Judicial District in Tangipahoa Parish. 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 disbursed upon the presentation of required documentation 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.
