House Bill No. 124, introduced by Representative Dickerson, amends the membership structure of the Domestic Violence Prevention Commission in Louisiana. The bill reduces the total number of commission members from twenty to nineteen and changes the composition by allowing either a current or former district court judge with experience in criminal law and a current or former district court judge with experience in family law to serve as members, both selected by the president of the Louisiana District Court Judges Association.
Additionally, the bill repeals the position of a representative from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives from the commission's membership. These changes aim to streamline the commission's composition while ensuring that it retains qualified judicial representation in matters related to domestic violence prevention.
