Allows consideration of domestic abuse arrest records without convictions when setting bail in domestic abuse cases.
Louisiana HB811 amends the Code of Criminal Procedure to include domestic abuse arrest records from the previous five years that did not result in convictions as a factor in setting bail for domestic abuse cases. This change aims to ensure the safety of victims and the community by considering the defendant's history of domestic abuse, even if no convictions were obtained.
