LIABILITY: Defines the Residual Malpractice Insurance Authority. (8/1/26)

SB 74 defines "Authority" in Louisiana medical malpractice law as the Residual Malpractice Insurance Authority established under Section 1231.7 of the Revised Statutes. This bill amends the definition section (R.S. 40:1231.1(A)(2)) to clarify that "Authority" refers specifically to this established entity. The change directly affects the legal framework governing medical malpractice insurance, ensuring consistent reference to the Residual Malpractice Insurance Authority in related statutes. It does not create new policy but standardizes terminology for clarity within the existing system.
