CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Creates a commission to study and make recommendations relative to non-unanimous jury verdicts in Louisiana to determine the number and distribution of such cases, and to inform the Senate of the findings.

SR 183 creates a commission to study Louisiana's use of non-unanimous jury verdicts in criminal cases before 2018. The commission will collect data on the number and geographic distribution of such cases, review submissions from incarcerated individuals convicted under these verdicts, and report findings to the Senate by February 2026. This resolution does not change current law but aims to inform future legislative action on potential remedies for those affected. The commission includes members from judicial, prosecutorial, advocacy, and victim rights organizations.
