AI Summary

This bill creates the Truth and Transparency in the Louisiana Criminal Justice System Pilot Program. The key provisions are: 1. The clerks of court for Caddo Parish, Orleans Parish, and East Baton Rouge Parish must provide the public and the Department of Justice with electronic access to all minute entries (records of court proceedings) in criminal cases, excluding traffic violations, immediately upon input. 2. The Department of Justice must establish a publicly accessible website or online portal to provide access to these minute entries, except for those that have been sealed by a court or contain confidential information. 3. The bill defines "minute entries" to include details like arrest information, custody/bail decisions, charges, hearings, trial proceedings, sentencing, and the identities of judges, prosecutors, and defense counsel. 4. The bill provides immunity from lawsuits for the clerks of court and the Department of Justice related to compliance with these transparency requirements. 5. The program is established as a pilot and will terminate on July 1, 2025 unless extended by the legislature.
