House Bill No. by Representative Muscarello amends the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure to update regulations regarding private information in court filings. 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. The bill emphasizes the responsibility of the filer to ensure that private information is excluded from these filings.

Notably, the bill removes full dates of birth from the list of prohibited information in court filings, which previously included 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. The clerk of court is tasked with adopting a system for the electronic filing and storage of pleadings, and public access to these electronically filed documents will follow the same rules as those governing access to paper filings.
