House Bill No. by Representative Mike Johnson appropriates $198,298.75 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to pay a consent judgment in the case of Anthony Murray v. State of Louisiana, through the Department of Transportation and Development. The judgment, which was signed on February 13, 2026, involves Angie Richmond as the legal successor of Anthony Murray and is recorded under docket number 238,372 in the Ninth Judicial District, parish of Rapides.

The bill outlines that the payment will cover principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded in the judgment, and it stipulates that the judgment must be final for payment to be made. It also establishes that if there are any conflicts between the judgment and the provisions of the bill, the judgment will take precedence. Additionally, interest on the judgment will cease to accrue as of the effective date of the bill, which will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action.
