HB71

Adds armed security officers as authorized persons subject to a limitation of liability under certain circumstances

Complete·6/2/26

Louisiana HB71 adds armed security officers to the list of authorized persons with limited liability under certain circumstances.

Louisiana HB71 amends the state's liability law to include armed security officers as authorized persons who can claim limited liability in specific situations. This change applies to armed security officers who have completed required training and hold an armed registration card from the Louisiana State Board of Private Security Examiners. The bill modifies existing law to expand the definition of "authorized person" to include these officers, thereby extending the same liability protections currently afforded to other authorized persons.
