CRIME/FELONIES: Creates a statewide registry for individuals convicted of certain felony offenses involving animals (OR INCREASE GF EX See Note)

HB 85 creates a statewide registry for individuals convicted of specific felony animal abuse offenses in Louisiana, including sexual abuse of animals, cruelty, dogfighting, and harming police animals. It requires offenders to register with local law enforcement within three business days of release, providing detailed personal information like addresses, employment details, vehicle records, and physical descriptions. The Louisiana Bureau of Criminal Identification will maintain a public registry with limited access to sensitive details like social security numbers, while mandating that registration cannot be waived by courts. This law directly affects convicted offenders of the listed animal felony crimes, imposing ongoing notification obligations.
