Summary

The bill amends Louisiana statutes to change how sex offenders are identified. It mandates that a special identification card bearing the words “SEX OFFENDER” in orange capital letters be issued for one year and carried at all times, and that any offender who also has a driver’s license must have a QR code on both documents. The changes aim to improve public awareness and tracking of registered sex offenders.
