LA HB123

Centralizes oversight of electronic monitoring service providers under the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement (LCLE), removing the Department of Public Safety and Corrections from rulemaking responsibilities and redirecting all provider reports from courts and law enforcement to the commission

Requires LCLE to develop and maintain a central repository for registering all electronic monitoring providers operating in Louisiana, receiving monthly and annual reports, and enforcing compliance

Establishes data security requirements for personal information of monitored individuals, prohibiting unauthorized disclosure by state employees with penalties of up to $5,000 fine and/or one year imprisonment

Providers who intentionally withhold or fail to timely report required information face fines up to $1,000 per day (maximum $10,000 per instance), imprisonment up to one year, and five-year removal from the state registry

Repeals existing R.S. 15:835 governing provider registration and R.S. 15:571.36(C)(5) requiring courts to report monitoring information to law enforcement
