This bill, introduced by Representative Lafleur, amends R.S. 13:842.4(D) to extend the termination date of the Complex Litigation Section Program in the Nineteenth Judicial District Court. The previous law stated that the pilot program would be effective for a period of two years unless extended by the legislature. The new amendment changes this provision to establish a specific termination date of July 31, 2028, for the program.

The bill aims to ensure the continued operation of the Complex Litigation Section Program by providing a clear end date, allowing for better planning and resource allocation within the court system. This change reflects the legislature's intent to support the program's ongoing effectiveness in managing complex litigation cases.
