House Bill No. 141, introduced by Representative Muscarello, amends the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure to update regulations regarding private information in court filings. The bill specifies that, starting January 1, 2026, all filings by attorneys must be submitted either in person in paper form or electronically through a system established by the clerk of court or the Louisiana Clerks' Remote Access Authority. It retains the prohibition of certain private information in filings, including the first five digits of social security numbers, tax identification numbers, state identification numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account numbers, and any information protected by state or federal law. Notably, the bill removes full dates of birth from the list of prohibited information.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the electronic filing provisions do not apply to expungement proceedings and that the information required by prosecuting agencies under Article 388 is not limited by these new regulations. The official record in courts that accept electronic filings will be the electronic record, and public access to these filings will follow the same rules as for paper filings. The amendments aim to streamline the filing process while ensuring the protection of sensitive information.
