CRIMINAL PROCEDURE: Provides for bail conditions for defendants charged with certain domestic offenses. (8/1/26)
SB 94 changes Louisiana's bail rules for defendants charged with specific domestic violence, stalking, sex offenses, or human trafficking cases. If a court determines a defendant poses a threat to a victim, it must require no contact with the victim’s home, school, workplace, or any communication (including electronic). For human trafficking cases, the bill also restricts certain employment (like ride-sharing, childcare, or door-to-door sales) as a bail condition. The law applies directly to defendants facing these offenses and aims to prioritize victim safety through concrete bail restrictions.
