Bill > HB76

This bill mandates that if an inmate is improperly released from a parish prison or jail or a state correctional facility, the supervisor in charge must immediately notify specific parties, including the relevant law enforcement agency, the victim of the crime, the district attorney, and local media outlets at their discretion. This requirement applies to inmates detained or incarcerated for felony crimes of violence. The bill defines "improper release" as an inmate's discharge due to administrative or clerical errors, and clarifies what constitutes a "law enforcement agency" and a "local media outlet," with "supervisor" referring to the warden, facility administrator, or designated official.
