This bill amends the Code of Criminal Procedure Article 892(C) and enacts R.S. 15:1228.10, focusing on the submission of post-sentence statements and documents related to defendants. It specifies that for defendants convicted of a felony and committed to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, all required statements and documents must be submitted electronically, in accordance with the newly established R.S. 15:1228.10. This section outlines the requirements for criminal justice agencies to submit data electronically through the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System (ICJIS) broker system, ensuring compliance with standards and protocols set by the ICJIS Policy Board.
Additionally, the bill mandates that each agency is responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of the data submitted. If errors are found, the submitting agency must correct and resubmit the data promptly. Agencies unable to meet ICJIS submission requirements must report to the policy board, which will monitor compliance and may provide technical support or suspend data exchange privileges if necessary. Overall, the bill aims to modernize the process of data submission in the criminal justice system, enhancing efficiency and accuracy.
