House Bill No. 67, introduced by Representative Bacala, amends R.S. 44:11.2(J) to clarify the limitations on the publication of personal information for individuals classified as "protected individuals." The bill specifies that these individuals are not exempt from having their personal information published by the office of the secretary of state, a district clerk of court, or the board of ethics. Furthermore, it establishes that protected individuals cannot request the removal of their personal information once it has been publicly posted by these entities.

The proposed law retains existing provisions while expanding the scope of entities that may publish the personal information of protected individuals. The amendment emphasizes that the board of ethics is also permitted to publish such information, thereby reinforcing the lack of exemption for protected individuals in these circumstances. Overall, the bill aims to provide clarity on the handling of personal information for protected individuals in Louisiana's public records.
