RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
HCR 56 2020 Regular Session Bagley
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 La., 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. of the Legislature.
