House Resolution No. by Representative Schlegel urges the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study and provide recommendations regarding the inclusion of digital products under the Louisiana Products Liability Act. The resolution highlights the need for digital products to be held to the same safety standards as traditional products, as they are increasingly prevalent in society. It emphasizes the importance of clarifying the responsibilities of designers and manufacturers of digital products to ensure the safety of Louisiana citizens, especially in light of recent judicial interpretations of relevant federal law.
The resolution calls for the Louisiana State Law Institute to report its findings and recommendations to the legislature by February 1, 2026. It also mandates that copies of the report be submitted to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring that the information is accessible for legislative review and consideration.
