This bill enacts new provisions in the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure regarding electronic bonds. It introduces a definition for "electronic bond," which is described as a commercial bail bond contract executed digitally to ensure a defendant's appearance in court. Additionally, the bill establishes that electronic bonds can be executed in parishes where the sheriff has the necessary electronic bond software.

Furthermore, the bill outlines the requirements for agents to be approved by the sheriff to execute electronic bonds. A licensed bail bond producer must apply for electronic bond authority, demonstrating that they have been domiciled and maintained a principal place of business in Louisiana for at least three years prior to the application. The sheriff may also require additional documentation to verify the application information.
