House Resolution No. by Representative Wyble authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to conduct a study on the provisions related to physical or sexual abuse of minors, specifically examining the feasibility of pretrial detention for these offenders for a minimum of seventy-two hours. The resolution emphasizes the balance between the presumption of innocence for the accused and the need to protect victims and the community, citing the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in United States v. Salerno, which supports pretrial detention under certain circumstances.

The resolution highlights Louisiana's compelling governmental interest in ensuring the safety of minors while respecting the constitutional rights of the accused. It mandates that the Louisiana State Law Institute report its findings, providing both a print and electronic copy to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library, thereby ensuring transparency and accessibility of the study's results.
