SB 141 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

COURTS: Provides that activities of the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System Policy Board be performed by the Louisiana Supreme Court. (gov sig)

SB 141 transfers administrative oversight of the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System Policy Board from the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement (which operates under the governor) to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will now provide the board with necessary staff, clerical support, and technical resources as outlined in the amended law. This change does not alter the board’s core function of managing Louisiana’s criminal justice data system but shifts its governance to the judicial branch. The bill is pending in the Judiciary Committee as of its prefiled date.
