RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 128 (HB 288) 2018 Regular Session Jackson
Existing law (C.C.P. Art. 5059) provides that in computing a period of time allowed or
prescribed by law or by order of court, the date of the act, event, or default after which the
period begins to run is not to be included. Provides that the last day of the period is to be
included, unless it is a legal holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next
day which is not a legal holiday.
Existing law provides that a half-holiday is considered a legal holiday. Provides that a legal
holiday is to be included in the computation of a period of time allowed or prescribed, except
when:
(1)It is expressly excluded.
(2)It would otherwise be the last day of the period.
(3)The period is less than seven days.
New law retains existing law. Additionally provides that a legal holiday shall be excluded
in the computation of a period of time allowed or prescribed to seek rehearing,
reconsideration, or judicial review or appeal of a decision or order by an agency in the
executive branch of state government.
New law provides an exception for the rehearing, reconsideration, or judicial review or
appeal of a decision or order by the Dept. of Revenue.
Effective August 1, 2018.
