Louisiana Governor Landry kicked off the 2025 legislative session by presenting his plan to lawmakers to reduce auto insurance rates. Key proposals of the governor’s auto insurance reform package include restricting attorney advertising, bringing medical transparency to the collateral source rule, and making lawyers and their clients prove their injuries were the result of the car accident.

“I am committed to working with you to find a balanced approach something that has never been tried, one that holds both sides accountable and is fair to genuinely injured victims,” Landry said.

Landry says the state also needs to strengthen its no-pay-no-play law, which would make it harder for uninsured drivers to receive money after an accident.

“Currently, bodily injury damages exclude the first $15,000, and I say you raise it to $100,000,” Landry said. “This will limit the recovery for uninsured drivers who don’t pay by our rules.”

Auto insurance reform is the top issue legislators face this session. However, the governor is also pushing lawmakers to approve legislation that is part of the Make America Healthy Again agenda, which would eliminate toxins from school lunches. Landry says he proudly supports Senator Patrick McMath’s MAHA bill.

“His legislation calls for us to curb ultra-processed food that is fueling chronic disease, incentivize better food choices, encourage active lifestyles, eliminate toxins from school lunches, and train physicians in nutrition-based treatments,” Landry said.

Another top priority for the governor in this session is reorganizing the Department of Transportation.
