Rep. Debbie Villio

Maddy summaryThis bill designates a specific section of Louisiana Highway 526 as the "Hayden Lane Mangum Memorial Highway" to honor an individual. The legislation achieves this by officially adding the name "Hayden" to the existing title of the roadway in the state's legal records. It directly affects the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, which will use the new designation for official signage and mapping. The bill contains no changes to traffic laws, funding, or road construction requirements, serving solely as a commemorative measure.

Maddy summarySB 110 makes it illegal to use an image of a child under 17 to train artificial intelligence models with the intent of generating child sexual abuse materials (CSAM). The bill directly affects AI developers and companies working with training data involving children's images. Key provisions add new language to Louisiana law defining the offense (Section A(3)) and expanding the definition of "child sexual abuse materials" to include AI-generated images of children (Section B(3)). This law specifically prohibits using real or AI-created child images for AI training that could produce CSAM, without requiring the depicted child to be a real person.

Maddy summaryHB 69 clarifies restrictions for individuals required to use ignition interlock devices (IIDs) as part of DWI-related probation or legal conditions. The bill specifically prohibits these individuals from operating, leasing, or borrowing any vehicle without a functioning IID installed (per R.S. 14:334(A)(1)), and bans them from asking others to blow into the device or start the vehicle to bypass the requirement (per R.S. 14:334(A)(2)). It directly affects DWI offenders subject to IID mandates under Louisiana law. The bill amends existing provisions in R.S. 14:334(A) and references relevant sections of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This is a procedural clarification of current enforcement standards, not a new policy change.

Maddy summaryHB 149 designates a specific segment of United States Highway 190 Business East in Slidell, Louisiana (from Beech Avenue/Interstate 10 Service Road to Military Road) as the "Senior Police Officer Trevor Abney Memorial Highway." The bill requires the Louisiana Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage for this designation only if local or private funds cover the costs (up to $2,250 per sign). This is a purely ceremonial bill with no substantive policy changes, solely honoring a police officer through road naming.

Maddy summaryHB 346 renames a specific section of U.S. Highway 171 in Florien, Louisiana (from Louisiana Highway 118 to Sandra Lane) as the "Speaker Joe Salter Memorial Highway." The bill directs the Louisiana Department of Transportation to install signage for this redesignation, provided local or private funds cover the department's actual costs (up to $750 per sign). This is a procedural naming bill with no substantive policy changes affecting residents, programs, or funding. It solely honors Speaker Joe Salter through a highway designation.

Maddy summaryHB 147 amends Louisiana law to explicitly include mail theft (R.S. 14:67.6) and theft of mail receptacle keys/locks (R.S. 14:67.7) as specific crimes that qualify as "racketeering activity." This definition change directly affects Louisiana law enforcement, prosecutors, and courts handling criminal cases involving these mail-related offenses. The bill adds these two offenses to the existing list of crimes that can be prosecuted under racketeering statutes, without creating new penalties or requirements. The bill is procedural, solely updating the legal definition within Louisiana Revised Statutes.

Maddy summaryHB 57 amends Louisiana law governing temporary restraining orders (TROs) in abuse cases. It requires courts to give the respondent (the person accused of abuse) an opportunity to rebut and respond to any criminal history evidence considered when granting a TRO without notice. The bill also specifies that courts must provide the respondent with 24-hour notice of the TRO and the subsequent hearing, and mandates that the petitioner prove abuse allegations by a preponderance of the evidence at the hearing. This applies to all TRO proceedings where criminal history is used as evidence, directly affecting petitioners, respondents, and courts handling these cases.

Maddy summaryHB 56 repeals specific sections of Louisiana law that imposed additional fines for driving while impaired (DWI). It directly affects drivers convicted of DWI in Louisiana by removing four designated fine amounts from the legal code. The bill's key mechanism is the complete removal of these provisions (R.S. 14:98.1(A)(4), 98.2(A)(5), 98.3(A)(4), and 98.4(A)(3)) without replacing them with new fines or penalties. This change would eliminate those specific additional fines for DWI convictions, though it does not alter the base penalties or other aspects of DWI law.
