flag Louisiana proposes a domestic abuse repeat offender registry with public alerts and annual fees.

flag Louisiana lawmakers are considering HB86, a bill by Rep. Joy Walters to create a statewide Domestic Abuse Repeat Offender Registry. flag It would require individuals convicted of a second or subsequent domestic-related offense—such as abuse battery, stalking, or violating protective orders—to register with law enforcement, with mandatory notification at sentencing or release. flag The public would access the registry, with residents able to receive email alerts for offender movements, jobs, or school enrollments. flag Offenders would pay $250 annually, funding registry operations and victim services. flag Registration periods would increase with each offense, potentially becoming lifelong. flag Supporters say the system, modeled after sex offender registries, would improve public safety and protect victims.
