STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS29675 / S1358
This trailer legislation amends the civil causes of action created by Senate Bill 1309 (2022) so that courts
may award attorney's fees and costs to prevailing defendants who complied with the law. It also removes the
subsection relating to affirmative defenses so that lawsuits filed under the civil causes of action would instead
proceed with normal burdens of proof.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no anticipated fiscal impact to the State or general fund because it requires no expenditure of State
funds.
