Public access limits protect witnesses' criminal records

Louisiana law adds a public-records exemption for covered criminal history records. Covered records come from the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division or Louisiana's Computerized Criminal History System. Court clerks generally cannot publicly release covered arrest and prosecution records of people serving as witnesses in criminal cases. Disclosure remains allowed if the witness voluntarily releases the records, they are already publicly available, or a court orders release.
