PUBLIC PROPERTY: Relative to municipal, parish, and state governmental entities, provides for conditions pertaining to security for the issuance of permits for outdoor events and the release of certain surveillance video (OR SEE FISC NOTE GF EX)
HB 529 requires municipal, parish, and state entities to approve detailed security plans before issuing permits for outdoor events. These plans must outline event layout, expected attendance, and security staffing locations, with law enforcement or the sheriff providing final approval. The bill also prohibits releasing surveillance video capturing violent acts - except via court order - imposing a $5,000 civil penalty per violation payable to victims. It updates public records exemptions to exclude such video from disclosure, ensuring confidentiality while mandating specific safety planning for public gatherings.
