PUBLIC SFTY/CORRECTIONS: Provides for the issuance of certain documentation to inmates before their release from incarceration (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

This bill requires Louisiana's Department of Public Safety and Corrections to provide released inmates with specific documents to help them find employment, including vocational and work records, birth certificates, social security information, and a resume highlighting any skills learned in prison. It also mandates that the department coordinate with the Office of Motor Vehicles to issue special identification cards to eligible inmates who lack current state IDs upon their release, using prison time computation records as valid photo identification. Additionally, the bill establishes a new certificate of employability for inmates who have completed certain educational programs, vocational training, or passed job skills assessments, which will include their criminal history and institutional records to help employers verify their qualifications. These provisions apply to inmates released from felony sentences who designate their residence within Louisiana, while excluding certain older inmates or those unable to return to the workforce from specific resume and interview documentation requirements.
