ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE: Requests the division of administration, the Patient's Compensation Fund, and the Patient's Compensation Fund Oversight Board to consider implementation of an e-filing system for medical review panel requests and an e-payment system for filing fees. (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

SCR 36 is a concurrent resolution requesting Louisiana's Division of Administration, Patient's Compensation Fund, and Patient's Compensation Fund Oversight Board to study implementing an e-filing system for medical review panel requests and an e-payment system for filing fees. It directly affects claimants, healthcare providers, and state agencies handling malpractice claims under Louisiana law (R.S. 40:1231.8 and R.S. 40:1237.2), which currently require paper/fax submissions and manual fee payments. The resolution specifies the study must assess feasibility, costs, and potential convenience fees, with a report due to the legislature by December 31, 2025. This is a procedural request for study, not an enacted policy change.
