RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 33 (HB 532) 2021 Regular Session St. Blanc
Existing law provides that prior to engaging in any activities related to moving household
goods, an intrastate mover of household goods must meet certain requirements, including
securing a common carrier certificate from the La. Public Service Commission
(commission), meeting other requirements of the commission, and carrying motor truck
cargo carriers insurance of at least $50,000 per truck and $100,000 per catastrophe.
Existing law requires any carrier, whether domiciled in or outside of La., who is providing
intrastate transportation of household goods in La., to maintain a permanent establishment
in this state. Provides that if the carrier ceases to maintain a permanent establishment in the
state, its right to conduct business in the state shall be immediately suspended or cancelled
at the discretion of the commission. No cancellation shall be ordered by the commission
without notice and hearing before an administrative law judge.
Prior law provided that the provisions of existing law would apply only when the contract
for moving household goods exceeded $400.
New law repeals the provision of prior law that required application of existing law only
when the contract for moving household goods exceeds $400.
Effective August 1, 2021.
