Provides relative to the confidentiality of criminal history records

Final Passage·5/27/26

Louisiana HB622 establishes rules for the confidentiality and dissemination of criminal history records.

Louisiana HB622 amends existing law to ensure the confidentiality of criminal history records. It prohibits the release or disclosure of such records or information obtained from or regarding an employee, except by court order or with the written consent of the person being investigated. The bill mandates that records be destroyed one year after the termination of employment. It also requires employers to obtain their own state and national criminal history record checks.
