House Bill No. by Representative Galle aims to establish strict regulations regarding the release of inmates during declared emergencies. The bill enacts R.S. 29:740, which prohibits the release of inmates by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C) or any local facility within the emergency area unless there is an individualized court order. Additionally, it specifies that no court, sheriff, or private contractor operating a prison has the authority to release any inmate without a court order that has been served upon the district attorney of the relevant parish.

The proposed law emphasizes the necessity of judicial oversight in the release of inmates during emergencies, ensuring that such actions are not taken lightly or without proper legal procedures. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
