EXPENDITURE EXPLANATION
The proposed law may result in an increased workload in the clerks of court for each judicial district, as the clerks of court
will be required to submit additional information in its daily report to the Louisiana Supreme Court containing the date of an
offense, date of arrests, or summons (if a summons was issued in lieu of an arrest), the state identification number of the
defendant (if one has been assigned to the defendant for the offense or any prior offenses), defendant demographic data (to
include sex, race and date of birth), for prosecutions of an offense involving violations of any state law or local ordinance,
the date of initiation of prosecution, date of adjudication, and number of days from initiation of prosecution to adjudication
for all criminal cases. To the extent the proposed law results in an increased workload in the clerks of court, the LFO
presumes that the clerks of court can absorb this anticipated workload using existing staff and resources.
REVENUE EXPLANATION
There is no anticipated direct material effect on governmental revenues as a result of this measure.
