HR 296 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

CRIMINAL/VICTIMS: Extends the time for the creation of the victims' services system pursuant to Act No. 370 of the 2025 Regular Session of the Legislature

This bill asks the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections to extend its deadline for creating a victims' services system from July 1, 2026, to July 1, 2027. The original law required the department to build a system that provides support and information to crime victims and witnesses, but the bill gives the agency more time to complete this task. This change affects the state's criminal justice administration by allowing additional planning time for the new services. The resolution emphasizes that the department should still finish the project quickly and ensure the final system works effectively.
