APPROPRIATIONS/JUDGMENT: Appropriates funding for the consent judgment against the state in the suit captioned Anthony Murray v. State of La., through the Dept. of Transportation and Development

This bill allocates $198,298.75 from Louisiana's state general fund to pay a consent judgment in a lawsuit between the state and Angie Richmond, who is the legal successor of Anthony Murray. The funds are designated for the Department of Transportation and Development and will cover the judgment's principal, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees. The legislation establishes that payment requires documentation submitted to the state treasurer and specifies that interest stops accruing once the act takes effect. The bill becomes effective upon the governor's signature or after the legislative session concludes without a veto.
