Louisiana HB85 establishes a statewide registry for individuals convicted of certain animal-related felony offenses.

Louisiana HB85 creates the Animal Abuse and Neglect Registry, managed by the Louisiana Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information. The registry requires individuals convicted of specific animal-related felonies to register with local law enforcement. Registration details include personal information, addresses, and identifying marks. The registry provides public access to certain information while exempting sensitive data like social security numbers and phone numbers. Social networking sites can compare their user databases with the registry to identify registered users.
