HB985

Provides relative to identification procedures for sex offenders (EG1 +$200,000 SG EX See Note)

Chamber Passed·4/29/26

Louisiana HB985 modifies identification procedures for sex offenders, including driver's licenses and special identification cards.

Louisiana HB985 amends existing law to change identification procedures for sex offenders. It places a QR code on the back of sex offenders' driver's licenses to assist law enforcement in identifying them. It removes the requirement for the words "sex offender" in orange on the driver's license. Sex offenders must carry their driver's license at all times when outside their residence. The bill also mandates that sex offenders carry a special identification card when outside their residence and requires them to renew this card annually.
