House Bill No. by Representative Ventrella proposes the enactment of Civil Code Article 2315.14, which establishes liability for damages caused by unauthorized aliens and their employers. The bill defines "unauthorized alien" as an individual unlawfully present in the United States under the federal Immigration and Nationality Act. It allows for the award of exemplary damages, in addition to general and special damages, if it is proven that an unauthorized alien caused the injury.

Furthermore, the provisions of this new article apply not only to the unauthorized alien but also to their employers and statutory employers, thereby extending liability in cases involving damages caused by unauthorized aliens. This legislation aims to clarify the legal responsibilities and potential financial repercussions for both unauthorized aliens and their employers in civil actions.
