House Resolution No. by Representative Bayham urges the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study on the feasibility of implementing statewide bail schedules. The resolution highlights the existing constitutional and statutory framework governing bail in Louisiana, noting that various magistrates currently have the authority to set bail based on the nature of the offense and the jurisdiction. The aim of the study is to explore the potential for establishing uniform bail schedules across all sixty-four parishes, which would promote consistency in bail hearings throughout the state.

The resolution mandates that the Louisiana State Law Institute submit its findings and recommendations to the legislature at least thirty days before the 2025 Regular Session. Additionally, it requires the Institute to provide both a print and electronic copy of the report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, ensuring that the information is accessible for legislative review.
