House Resolution No. ___, introduced by Representative Bamburg, authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study and recommend legislation regarding the establishment of reversionary medical trusts in personal injury claims. These trusts are intended to ensure that funds awarded for medical expenses are used directly for ongoing medical care and related benefits, safeguarding against misuse. The resolution highlights the importance of protecting claimants' awards to ensure they are made whole and that medical bills are paid directly to providers as they are incurred.

The Louisiana State Law Institute is directed to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the legislature by February 1, 2026. This initiative aims to enhance the legal framework surrounding personal injury claims and ensure that claimants receive the necessary medical care without the risk of misallocation of awarded funds. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the director of the Louisiana State Law Institute, and the final report will also be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library as mandated by state law.
