The Louisiana Legislature has approved legislation opposed by insurers calling for the destruction of vehicles considered a "total loss" in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
A spokesperson for Governor Kathleen Babineaux Blanco said that the governor had not received the bill and has not yet made any decision whether she will sign it.
The Property Casualty Insurers Association of America has voiced strong opposition to the measure, claiming it is an overly drastic solution to the problem of cars damaged by the hurricane.
