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 identifies the precise location of individual wild animals or aquatic life will now be considered confidential and not subject to public disclosure. This means that information detailing where specific animals are, gathered through tracking devices, will be protected from being accessed by the general public, aiming to safeguard these animals from potential harm or interference.
