Bill > HB858

This bill establishes a new exemption to public records laws in Louisiana, specifically concerning data collected by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries. The key provision is that any Global Positioning System (GPS) data that reveals the exact location of individual wild animals or aquatic life will now be considered confidential and not subject to public disclosure. This means that information about where specific animals are located, gathered through tracking devices, will be protected from public access, aiming to prevent potential harm or interference with wildlife research and conservation efforts.
