Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
New duties for people under monitoring
Beginning August 1, 2025, Louisiana courts must set monitoring conditions they consider necessary for rehabilitation. Conditions include keeping a job and following court-set zones where people must stay or cannot go. For juveniles, courts may also require school, after-school activities, or a curfew. People under monitoring must keep equipment working and charged, and immediately help the monitoring company check and repair technical problems. This cooperation may include reasonable detention by law enforcement.
Certification rules for monitoring companies and manufacturers
Beginning August 1, 2025, Louisiana agencies must develop certification standards and registration requirements for monitoring providers and manufacturers operating in Louisiana. Responsible agencies are Corrections Services within the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, State Police, and the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice. They must adopt these rules through the state's Administrative Procedure Act process.
Monitoring providers face reporting deadlines and penalties
Beginning August 1, 2025, Louisiana monitoring providers must actively check compliance and send district attorneys daily noncompliance reports. Placement information goes to law enforcement and prosecutors by noon the next day; prior-month activity reports reach courts and prosecutors by the tenth. Providers must report verified violations immediately, within 30 minutes, to the bail agent, local law enforcement, prosecutors, and court. Intentionally withholding required information or reporting late carries fines up to $1,000 daily, capped at $10,000 per instance or person monitored, or up to six months in jail. Providers also face a five-year bar on registering to provide monitoring services in Louisiana.
Monitoring violations bring custody and penalties
Beginning August 1, 2025, Louisiana courts may issue arrest warrants after finding monitoring noncompliance, acting themselves or on prosecutors' requests. Those arrested remain in custody until a hearing on whether they can and will follow monitoring restrictions. After a third court finding, courts must end monitoring and send adults to state custody or juveniles to appropriate pretrial facilities. Intentionally entering a banned zone, failing to leave immediately, or breaking curfew carries up to $500, six months in jail, or both. Committing a felony during these violations, or violating after bail release for a violent felony, carries up to $1,000 and one year at hard labor.
Adults pay monitoring costs, with limited waivers
Beginning August 1, 2025, adults in Louisiana electronic monitoring programs must pay the monitoring cost. The law does not set an amount. In juvenile or other cases, courts may waive costs only when the entity otherwise responsible for paying requests a waiver.
