The Senate Resolution establishes the Commission on Non-unanimous Verdicts in Louisiana to study the implications of non-unanimous jury verdicts, which were permitted in the state until a constitutional amendment in 2018 mandated unanimous verdicts for felony trials. The resolution highlights the historical context of non-unanimous verdicts, including a 2020 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that deemed them unconstitutional, and acknowledges that many individuals remain incarcerated under such convictions. The commission's purpose is to assess the number and distribution of these cases and to provide legislative recommendations by February 1, 2026.

The commission will consist of various appointed members, including representatives from the Senate Committee on Judiciary B, the Louisiana District Attorneys Association, and victim advocacy groups. It will collect necessary data, allowing individuals who believe they were wrongfully convicted by non-unanimous juries to submit their cases for review. The commission is tasked with convening by October 1, 2025, and will operate without compensation, except for allowable expenses. It will dissolve upon submitting its report or by the specified deadline in 2026.
