HB 63 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

BAIL: Provides relative to the placement of a defendant's name into the National Crime Information Center registry

HB 63 repeals an existing bail procedure law (Code of Criminal Procedure Article 331(G)) and establishes new rules for two key areas: when a defendant's name is entered into the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) registry and how bail obligations are discharged. The bill directly affects criminal defendants (whose names may be added to the NCIC database) and law enforcement agencies that use the NCIC system for warrant checks and criminal history searches. It replaces current procedures with updated requirements for NCIC registry placement, which determines when a defendant's information becomes accessible to police nationwide. The bill is currently pending in the Committee on Administration of Criminal Justice.
