HR 252 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

CIVIL/LAW: Directs the La. State Law Institute to study reversionary trusts

HR 252 is a resolution directing the Louisiana State Law Institute to study creating reversionary medical trusts for personal injury damage awards. If adopted, this would ensure medical bills from injuries are paid directly to healthcare providers as they occur, rather than to the claimant, preventing misuse of funds. The study would specifically examine applying this system to all personal injury cases, building on existing laws for political subdivisions, state agencies, and medical malpractice. The Institute must submit findings and recommendations to the legislature by February 1, 2026.
