House Bill No. [insert number] enacts Civil Code Article 2315.12, which addresses the recovery of damages for unauthorized aliens involved in automobile accidents in Louisiana. The bill defines "unauthorized alien" as an individual unlawfully present in the United States under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act. It establishes that general damages and past and future wages cannot be awarded to unauthorized aliens in actions arising from automobile accidents.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the prohibition on awarding damages does not apply to claims made against uninsured or underinsured motorist policies where the unauthorized alien is named as an insured. This legislation aims to clarify the legal standing of unauthorized aliens in the context of automobile accident claims and limit their ability to recover certain types of damages.
