CRIMINAL/PROCEDURE: Provides relative to criminal adjudications (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)
This bill requires Louisiana judicial districts to submit daily reports to the state Supreme Court starting January 1, 2025, detailing the status of all criminal cases. The reports must include specific data points such as the date prosecution began, the date of the final court decision, and the total number of days between those two events. Additionally, the Supreme Court will compile a yearly summary of this information, broken down by district, to be included in its annual report. The legislation also mandates that these reports follow a standard format and practice set by the Supreme Court.
