HR 273 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

CORRECTIONS: Creates a task force to study the work release programs administered by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections

This bill creates a task force to study work release programs run by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections. The task force will investigate how these programs operate and may hold meetings at the state capitol, the department's headquarters, or other locations chosen by the chairman. The legislation also specifies that the department itself will manage the task force rather than the House of Representatives. By establishing this group, the bill aims to provide a formal review of current work release practices without changing existing laws.
