RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 403 (SB 68) 2018 Regular Session Claitor
New law requires any person operating a motor vehicle on the public roads of this state
during flood conditions to drive in a careful and prudent manner, so as not to create a wake
that endangers the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such a manner
shall constitute careless operation during flood conditions.
New law provides a rebuttable presumption that certain persons were operating a motor
vehicle in a careful and prudent manner during flood conditions.
Effective upon signature of the governor (May 23, 2018).
