Senate Bill No. by Senator Jackson-Andrews amends Civil Code Article 3454 to clarify the computation of prescriptive periods in Louisiana. The bill specifies 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 proposed changes aim to provide clearer guidelines regarding the accrual of prescription periods, ensuring that individuals are not disadvantaged by the timing of weekends or holidays. This amendment will take effect on August 1, 2025.
