Billiot (HB 423) Act No. 284
Existing law provides for the specific grounds on which certain sex offenders convicted of
felony carnal knowledge or crime against nature may petition the court, or file a motion in
the court, for relief from the sex offender registration and notification requirements. Existing
law further provides for the procedures by which and the jurisdictions in which these
petitions and motions may be filed.
New law retains existing law and provides that any petition for injunctive relief or for
declaratory judgment regarding the registration and notification requirements as they apply
to a particular offender, regardless of the date of conviction, which are based on theories of
relief or grounds not specifically provided for in existing law, shall be filed through ordinary
civil proceedings in the district court for the parish where the state capitol is situated.
Effective August 1, 2013.
