PUBLIC RECORDS: Provides relative to access to personal information of protected individuals (EN SEE FISC NOTE LF EX)

Summary

The bill amends Louisiana’s public‑records law to define “publish” as posting a protected person’s personal information online without a legitimate interest or with intent to harass. It lets the protected individual, the judicial administrator, or the District Attorneys Association request that a public body or third party keep such information private, and it creates a right to sue for violations, including attorney fees and damages. The changes aim to protect victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and similar harms from unwanted exposure.
