Senate Bill No. by Senator Allain aims to limit the liability of agricultural producers and suppliers who utilize gypsum, a byproduct of manufacturing that serves as a fertilizer and soil amendment. The bill enacts R.S. 3:1424, which outlines specific conditions under which liability is waived. These conditions include compliance with the provisions of the bill and any associated regulations, obtaining gypsum at no cost from a manufacturing byproduct source, and ensuring that the gypsum has been analyzed and meets established analytical tolerances before use.

Additionally, the bill authorizes the commissioner to create rules and regulations to implement these provisions, including the establishment of analytical tolerances for gypsum. The effective date for this legislation is set for August 1, 2025. Overall, the bill seeks to promote the use of gypsum in agriculture while protecting producers and suppliers from civil damages related to its utilization.
