Summary

The bill adds a new exemption to Louisiana’s public‑records law, keeping personally identifying information of people who apply for Department of Wildlife and Fisheries lotteries for hunting or fishing licenses confidential. The exemption applies only to data collected during the lottery season, so that information cannot be released through public‑records requests. This protects applicants’ privacy while leaving the rest of the public‑records rules unchanged.
