CRIME/PUNISHMENT: Provides relative to the Child Abuse Neglect Registry. (7/1/24)

This bill updates Louisiana's laws regarding the Child Abuse and Neglect Registry by requiring certain individuals convicted of specific domestic abuse battery offenses against minors to register. Under the new rules, anyone sentenced for these crimes must report their address to local law enforcement within three days of release and keep their information current for ten years after a first offense or for life after a second or subsequent offense. The legislation also clarifies that giving false registration details is a crime punishable by fines and up to one year in prison. Finally, the bill repeals a previous section of the law that is no longer needed, with these changes taking effect on July 1, 2024.
