Impaired-driving arrests can lead to longer holds

Louisiana’s Jada’s Law allows agencies to hold adults arrested for impaired driving who are legally presumed under the influence of alcohol. Agencies may hold them until safe release is possible, but the law does not define what makes release safe. This authority does not apply to anyone age 17 or younger. It does not deny or restrict the right to bail. Courts also keep their authority to add lawful release conditions.
