SCR 30 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

CONGRESS: Memorializes the United States Congress to compel the Department of Justice to release all unclassified documents, videos, images and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

This Louisiana Senate concurrent resolution asks the U.S. Congress to ensure that all individuals linked to the Jeffrey Epstein case are fully investigated, prosecuted, and held accountable for alleged crimes such as child sex trafficking and bribery. The bill specifically targets high-profile figures mentioned in recently released documents, including Ghislaine Maxwell, and calls for their names to be disclosed and legal actions to be taken through every available process. It does not create new laws or penalties but serves as a formal request to the federal government to pursue these cases aggressively. The measure is intended to address public concerns about accountability following the initial release of unclassified files related to Epstein and Maxwell.

What changed between versions

SCR30 Original SCR30 Enrolled · 4 edits · Jun 1, 2026
MODERATE
The bill was updated from a draft to its final enrolled version, correcting the session year from 2026 to 2026 (consistent with the header) and refining the language to align with the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act. The resolution now explicitly references the new federal law and the specific timeline of document releases, shifting the focus from a general demand for all materials to a specific request for full accountability based on the newly disclosed information.
Scope change
The scope was refined to specifically reference the newly enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act and the subsequent release of documents, rather than issuing a broad, standalone demand for all unclassified materials.
TIMELINE

The text was updated to reference the correct legislative session year (2026) and specific dates for document releases (December 2025 and January 2026) established by the new federal law.

REQUIREMENT

The resolution now explicitly cites the 'Epstein Files Transparency Act (Pub. L. 119-38)' as the legal basis for the request, grounding the state's appeal in the new federal mandate for public disclosure.

The language regarding the Department of Justice was changed from a general command to 'compel' to a request to 'ensure' that individuals are prosecuted through available legal processes, reflecting the new legal framework.

TECHNICAL

Removed the original draft header and replaced it with the official enrolled header, including the full list of sponsoring legislators.
