Harrison (HB 118) Act No. 149
Prior law provided that there "should" be no recovery for the first $15,000 of bodily injury
and no recovery for the first $25,000 of property damage based on any cause of action arising
out of a motor vehicle accident, for damages incurred by an owner or operator who fails to
maintain compulsory motor vehicle liability security.
New law retains prior law but changes "should" to "shall" to be consistent with the
terminology of Act No. 1476 of the 1997 R.S.
Effective Aug. 1, 2014.
