The bill, HB 792, aims to enhance the reporting process for criminal adjudications in Louisiana by requiring clerks of court from each judicial district to provide daily electronic submissions to the Louisiana Supreme Court starting January 1, 2025. This submission will include specific data elements outlined in current law, such as the date of initiation of prosecution, the date of adjudication, and the number of days from initiation to adjudication for all criminal cases. The Louisiana Supreme Court is also tasked with summarizing this information by judicial district in its annual report.

Key amendments to the bill include a shift from monthly to daily reporting, and a clarification that the data must be recorded and reported in a standard format as directed by the court. Additionally, the language has been updated to specify that the clerk of court will handle the electronic submissions, rather than the judicial district itself submitting reports. These changes aim to streamline the reporting process and improve the accuracy and timeliness of criminal case data.
