The Louisiana House has passed a bill that would make staging an accident with a car or truck a serious crime. HR 15, which passed the House this week by a vote of 100 to 0, now moves on to the state Senate. If passed there, it would enact a penalty of five years in prison or a fine of $5,000 — or both — for those convicted of the crime. The legislation follows a multiyear FBI investigation into more than 100 staged accidents in the New Orleans area. Those accidents have been pursued as a criminal scheme to defraud motor carriers and insurance companies. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
