The bill amends and reenacts several sections of Louisiana's law regarding electronic monitoring of criminal defendants, specifically focusing on the responsibilities of electronic monitoring service providers and the penalties for noncompliance. Key provisions include the requirement for service providers to report violations of monitoring conditions to law enforcement and the prosecuting authority within thirty minutes of verification. Additionally, the bill establishes certification standards and registration requirements for electronic monitoring providers and manufacturers, ensuring that they adhere to operational guidelines set forth by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.

Furthermore, the bill introduces new sections that outline the conditions for electronic monitoring, including the responsibilities of individuals under monitoring, such as maintaining the equipment and complying with court-imposed conditions. It also creates penalties for violations of electronic monitoring conditions, including fines and imprisonment for offenders. The court is granted the authority to issue warrants for noncompliance and to terminate a person's participation in the monitoring program after multiple violations. Overall, the legislation aims to enhance the effectiveness and accountability of electronic monitoring systems in Louisiana.
