REAPPORTIONMENT: Provides for the legislative redistricting website during the 2026 election cycle (Item #1)

HB 5 is a criminal justice bill that amends penalties for crimes involving minors in prostitution, not a redistricting bill as its title suggests. The bill increases fines and mandatory prison sentences for offenses like soliciting minors under 18 (fines up to $50,000, 15+ years prison) or under 14 (fines up to $75,000, 25+ years prison). It specifically targets crimes including inciting, promoting, or pandering prostitution of minors, with harsher penalties for those under 14. Half of collected fines will fund victim services under R.S. 15:539.4. The bill was reported with amendments (10-0) after committee review.
