House Resolution No. [insert number] directs the Louisiana State Law Institute to study and recommend legislation for 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 tasked with submitting 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, particularly in cases involving political subdivisions, the state, or medical malpractice, where specific provisions for medical care payments are already established. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the director of the Louisiana State Law Institute, and the final report will be provided to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library as required by law.
