Bill > HB254

This bill amends Civil Code Article 1543 to clarify the rules for donating movable property, which are tangible items that can be moved, specifically focusing on motor vehicles. Previously, the law allowed for a "manual gift," meaning a tangible item could be donated simply by handing it over to the recipient without any other formal paperwork. This bill maintains that provision for most movable items but creates a new restriction for the donation of motor vehicles. Under the proposed changes, a motor vehicle can only be donated to ascendants (parents, grandparents), descendants (children, grandchildren), collaterals (siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins), or charitable organizations, meaning individuals outside of these categories or non-charitable entities can no longer receive a donated motor vehicle.
