AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 46:2136.2(A) and (B), relative to the Louisiana Protective Order Registry; to provide for the purpose of the registry; to provide for the contents of the registry; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill amends Louisiana's Protective Order Registry law to expand the purpose of the registry to protect victims and witnesses from domestic abuse, dating violence, stalking, sexual assault, and crimes of violence. It also broadens the types of protective orders that can be included in the registry, such as those issued as part of criminal proceedings or as Uniform Abuse Prevention Orders. The bill aims to aid law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts in handling these types of cases more effectively by maintaining a comprehensive statewide registry of protective orders.
