Louisiana House Bill 804 Aims to Block Climate Change Lawsuits Against Energy Producers

State Rep. Brett Geymann says House Bill 804 would block climate change lawsuits in Louisiana that seek damages tied to greenhouse gas emissions. He argues the lawsuits are difficult to prove and could impact energy companies, landowners, farmers and other businesses. Geymann also says a Senate amendment strengthened the bill by clarifying it does not affect existing or future coastal lawsuits.
