House Bill No. 227, introduced by Representative Hilferty, appropriates $400,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2024-2025 to pay a consent judgment in the case of "Ronnie Rogers and Andrea Rogers, individually and on behalf of their minor child, Hayley Rogers versus Richard A. Dantin on behalf of his minor child, Olivia Elizabeth Dantin; Geico Casualty Company, the State of Louisiana through the Department of Transportation and Development, and the Parish of Jefferson." The judgment, which is final, includes provisions for payment of principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded.

The bill stipulates that if there are any conflicts between the judgment and the provisions of the proposed law, 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 expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
