House Bill No. by Representative Wiley aims to enhance the confidentiality of certain criminal records during trial proceedings. The bill enacts new provisions in the Code of Criminal Procedure, specifically Article 717(E) and (F), which stipulate that information derived from the FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division and the Louisiana Computerized Criminal History System cannot be disclosed outside of the trial context. This is particularly relevant when the witness is an employee of a criminal justice agency and their identity is protected under existing law.

Additionally, the bill emphasizes that any information obtained for trial use that pertains to a witness's criminal history must remain within the confines of the presiding court and cannot be included in any public court records. This measure is designed to safeguard sensitive information and ensure that the privacy of witnesses is maintained throughout the judicial process. Overall, the bill seeks to balance the need for transparency in criminal proceedings with the protection of individual privacy rights.
