HB 213 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

CRIME: Provides relative to the crime of negligent homicide (EN SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)

HB 213 amends the crime of negligent homicide by reducing the required number of victims from twenty to ten. This change directly affects how prosecutors must prove a case, as the law now considers the death of ten people instead of twenty to constitute the offense. The bill achieves this through three specific amendments that replace the word "twenty" with "ten" in the relevant sections of the statute.
