Louisiana HB243 establishes procedures for appointing a substitute for a recused district attorney.
Louisiana HB243 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to clarify the process for appointing a substitute for a recused district attorney. When a district attorney is recused, the trial judge must either appoint an attorney qualified as a district attorney and not an assistant to the recused district attorney, or notify the attorney general in writing. In the latter case, the attorney general must then appoint a member of his staff or a district attorney from another district to act in place of the recused district attorney.
