This law lets each public college or university in Louisiana set and change its own tuition and mandatory fee amounts, including for part-time, dual enrollment, and summer session students. Institutions can raise tuition and fees by up to 10 percent in any one-year period, with no limit on lowering them, starting January 1, 2027. Schools must consider factors like affordability and peer institution costs, provide advance notice of increases, offer financial hardship waivers, and report yearly to state oversight committees.

This law sets new requirements for how Louisiana teacher education programs and public schools handle reading instruction.

This law updates Louisiana's rules for pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the companies that manage prescription drug benefits for health insurers and health plans. It adds and revises definitions covering PBM services, fees, rebates, and related entities, sets rules for pharmacy audits, creates duties PBMs owe to enrollees, health plans, and providers, and adds provisions on compensation, cost-sharing, contracts, data sharing, penalties, and a private right to sue.

This law changed Louisiana rules on when a minor can consent to medical care. It generally requires a parent's or legal guardian's consent before a healthcare provider treats a minor, with listed exceptions such as military service, emancipation, pregnancy-related care, substance misuse treatment, treatment for sexually transmitted diseases, blood donation, suspected abuse or neglect, voluntary admission to a treatment facility, college enrollment, or seeking contraceptives or STI prevention or treatment (not including vaccines for STIs). It also lets healthcare providers rely in good faith on someone claiming to be a temporary caregiver, protects providers and hospitals from civil or criminal liability except for negligence, updates who counts as a 'patient' for medical records access to include a minor's parent or guardian, and repeals a school or facility's authority to give preventive counseling or treatment to a minor without parental consent.

This law created the Louisiana Medical Debt Protection Act, which caps interest on medical debt from medically necessary care at 3 percent per year and voids any contract clause that sets a higher rate. It defines medical debt, medical creditors, and medical debt collectors, and lets the attorney general enforce the law and set up a public complaint process for violations.

This law changed the rules about how long people have to sue their insurance company over a claim. It confirmed that when an insurer pays part of a claim, that payment does not restart or extend the deadline for filing a lawsuit.

This law created the Louisiana Energy Protection Act, which blocks most lawsuits in Louisiana courts that seek damages for climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

This law requires school employees who learn of a threat of violence or terrorism against a school to immediately report it to local law enforcement and the school administrator.

This law requires health insurance plans in Louisiana to cover mobile crisis response and behavioral health crisis care services from licensed providers. Insurers cannot require prior authorization for these services, though they may still apply deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. The law defines eligible providers and requires them to coordinate with the state's Crisis Hub, a statewide crisis line. It takes effect on July 1, 2027.

This law changed the required notice period for canceling a homeowner's fire insurance policy under the state's Standard Fire Policy.

The same change applies to notice given to a mortgage holder listed on the policy.
