House Bill No. by Representative Mandie Landry appropriates $40,000 from the State General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to pay a consent judgment in the case of Alvin J. Clouatre, Jr. v. Eagle, Inc., et al. This judgment, which was signed on October 9, 2025, involves the state of Louisiana, represented by the Board of Supervisors of Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical College, on behalf of LSU Health Sciences Center - New Orleans, and the plaintiff, Alvin J. Clouatre, Jr. The bill outlines that payment will cover principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as awarded in the judgment, and specifies that the judgment will only be paid if it is final.

The bill includes provisions that address potential conflicts between the judgment and the proposed law, stating that the judgment's provisions will take precedence in such cases. Additionally, it stipulates that interest on the judgment will cease to accrue as of the effective date of the proposed law. The act will become effective upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the time for bills to become law without signature expires.
