Governor Jeff Landry on Wednesday signed a package of bills aimed at addressing Louisiana’s persistently high insurance rates, marking what he described as a “measured” resolution between long-feuding interests—insurance companies and trial lawyers.
The signing event at the Governor’s Mansion was treated as a victory celebration, though Landry acknowledged that no one could definitively say if the new laws will immediately lower insurance premiums.
The legislation caps off one of the most politically charged issues of the current legislative session. Landry and supporters believe the reforms strike a necessary balance to stabilize the market and attract more insurers to the state.
Critics, however, remain cautious, warning that the effectiveness of the measures will ultimately depend on implementation and oversight.
