Senate Bill No. by Senator Jackson-Andrews proposes an amendment to Civil Code Article 3454 regarding the computation of prescriptive periods. The bill clarifies that when calculating the expiration of a prescriptive period, the last day of that period will not count if it falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday. In such cases, the prescription will instead accrue on the next day that is not a legal holiday.

The bill aims to provide clearer guidelines on how prescriptive periods are affected by weekends and legal holidays, ensuring that individuals are not disadvantaged by these days when it comes to the expiration of their legal rights. The proposed changes will take effect on August 1, 2025.
