HB 23 Louisiana House · 2025 Regular Session

CRIMINAL/PROCEDURE: Provides relative to post-sentence statements and documents (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

HB 23 is a procedural bill that makes minor technical corrections to existing criminal justice procedures. It primarily adjusts wording in references to the "ICJIS Policy Board" (changing it to "policy board" in several places) and corrects a typo related to "felony conviction" language. The bill does not create new requirements or change how criminal justice documents are handled; it only refines existing statutory language for clarity. As noted ("EN NO IMPACT"), this amendment has no substantive effect on rights, procedures, or obligations for any individuals or agencies. The bill was unanimously reported with amendments (9-0) after committee review.

MODERATE

This bill updates the process for sending post-sentence documents from courts to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections. It mandates that these documents be submitted electronically through a new state system (ICJIS) rather than physically or via unspecified methods. The law also establishes a new statute to define how agencies must handle data transmission, security, and error correction.

Scope change

The bill expands the scope of data transmission requirements by mandating electronic submission through a specific state-wide system, replacing previous methods that allowed for physical delivery or unspecified electronic means.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the method of submitting post-sentence statements and documents from physical delivery or unspecified electronic means to mandatory electronic transmission via the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System broker.

Created a new statute establishing standards, security protocols, and certification procedures for electronic criminal justice data exchanges.

ENFORCEMENT

Added provisions requiring agencies unable to meet electronic submission standards to report to the policy board and potentially face suspension of data exchange privileges.

TECHNICAL

Updated the text to reference the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System Policy Board for adopting technical specifications and security requirements.
