HB 963 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

APPROPRIATIONS/JUDGMENT: Appropriates funds for payment of the consent judgment against the state in the suit captioned Elva Moorhead, et al. v. Eagle, Inc. et al.

This bill allocates $150,000 from the state general fund to pay a consent judgment against the state in a lawsuit involving the Louisiana Stadium and Exposition District and the Moorhead family. The funds are designated to cover the judgment's principal amount, interest, court costs, and expert witness fees as specified in the legal agreement signed on October 1, 2025. The legislation ensures payment occurs only after required documentation is submitted to the state treasurer and states that the judgment is considered paid on the act's effective date, stopping further interest accrual.
