Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

306 provisions identified: 290 benefits, 13 costs, 3 mixed.

Payments for people with listed judgments

The law funds listed final judgments and recommendations against Louisiana. Payments cover applicable principal, interest, court costs, expert-witness fees, and attorney-fee reimbursements. Each judgment or recommendation must be final, and recipients must give the state treasurer the required documents. Up to $600,000 for Caleb Jones's future medical care and related benefits comes from the Future Medical Care Fund.

More funding for Medicaid provider payments

For FY 2024–2025, the law provides $625.08 million for physician-directed Medicaid payments. That money comes from agency transfers, fees, other program revenues, and federal funds. Separate forecast-based additions provide $215.15 million in federal funds and $6.98 million in agency transfers for private-provider payments. They also add $10.89 million from the Health Excellence Fund and $682,289 from the Louisiana Fund. These appropriations fund providers, not direct household payments.

New Orleans medical center gets funding

University Medical Center in New Orleans receives about $235.186 million in supplemental payments for fiscal year 2024–2025. The money comes through the Payments to Private Providers Program. It supports the medical center rather than providing checks to households. The law does not set an individual patient benefit amount.

State pension systems get added funding

The Louisiana State Police Retirement System gets about $148.772 million from the fiscal year 2023–2024 State General Fund surplus. That surplus was certified at the January 16, 2025 budget committee meeting and recognized by the Revenue Estimating Conference. The state employees' and teachers' retirement systems each get $7,594 from the Unfunded Accrued Liability Fund. Those smaller payments address pension debt existing on June 30, 1988. These appropriations do not set individual pension increases.

Less funding for unpaid hospital care

For fiscal year 2024–2025, the law cuts the Uncompensated Care Costs Program by about $152.38 million. This includes about $48.67 million in state general funds and $103.71 million in federal funds. The change lowers provider funding for care for people who cannot pay. It does not specify changes to any patient's costs or eligibility.

More food and shelter for homeless families

The law provides Family Reach Alliance $50,000 for food and shelter for homeless families in fiscal year 2024–2025. It does not state how many families receive help, who qualifies, or the amount per family.

The law provides about $6.761 million for the Louisiana Workforce Commission to repay FEMA for a Lost Wages Assistance overpayment.

Surplus pension support brings repayment rules

State retirement systems receiving FY 2023–2024 surplus distributions must reset repayment schedules for their remaining liabilities effective June 30, 2025.
