WATER MANAGEMENT: Provides for emergency preparedness. (8/1/26)

Summary

The bill protects Louisiana political subdivisions that manage freshwater systems from being sued for damages caused by reducing or stopping pumping and operating water control structures to lower water levels before a forecasted weather event. The protection does not apply if the actions involve gross negligence or willful misconduct and only covers subdivisions spanning four parishes with a certain population range.
