House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the enactment of Civil Code Article 2317.2, which establishes a standard of care for individuals involved in the design, development, licensing, manufacture, and sale of software and computer programs. Specifically, the bill mandates that any person who creates software that offers an interactive or personalized user experience based on user data must exercise reasonable care in their activities. This new legal standard aims to enhance accountability and ensure that software products are developed with a focus on user safety and reliability.

The bill clarifies that the introduction of this standard of care does not limit the availability of other legal actions or liability theories under existing laws, including the Louisiana Products Liability Act. By adding this article, the legislation seeks to address the growing importance of software in daily life and the need for a clear framework governing the responsibilities of those who create and distribute such technology.
