Immunity from Civil Liability Bill
The Bill would have created a cause of action against any entity who mandates, recommends or administers any product for which the manufacturer of that product is immune from civil liability. The Bill also would have required disclosure to the prospective recipient that the manufacturer is immune from civil liability. This important consumer protection Bill was defeated on the House floor. Republican Representative Thomas Pressley (Caddo and Bossier Parishes) led the charge against the Bill. As it stands now, if an entity mandates a vaccine that causes harm to a Louisiana citizen, that citizen has no opportunity for civil or monetary recovery. Pressley’s constituents must be aware of his failure to protect the interests of the ordinary Louisiana citizen on this critical Bill.
