Urges and requests the La. Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice
to compile data and information with respect to homicide offenses committed in the last five years
in Louisiana, including information on the offense charged, any plea agreement, and dismissal, to
determine the number of persons who had an active criminal justice status or prior criminal history
at the time of the commission of the offense, to use this data and information to develop theories or
trends with respect to a person's active criminal justice status or prior criminal history and its impact
on the likelihood of the person's subsequent commission of a homicide, and to evaluate current bail
and parole policies in order to focus greater attention and action on habitual violent offenders.
Requires the La. Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice to report
its findings, including any legislative and policy recommendations, to the legislature prior to the
convening of the 2022 R.S.
