PEREMPTION DURING 2016 FLOODING DISASTER §5826. Purpose In response to the widespread flooding and power outages that occurred in August of 2016, the governor of this state issued Executive Orders JBE 2016-53, 57, and 66, which, among other things, purport to suspend or extend certain prescriptive periods and peremptive periods. The legislature finds that it is necessary to provide for a clear termination of any suspension or extension of prescriptive periods and peremptive periods created by these executive orders in order to preserve a fair and consistent application of the laws of prescription and peremption.
