House Bill No. by Representative Villio aims to expand the definition of "racketeering activity" under Louisiana law by adding specific offenses to the list of crimes that constitute racketeering. The bill enacts R.S. 15:1352(A)(89) and (90), which include mail theft (R.S. 14:67.6) and theft or unauthorized reproduction of a mail receptacle key or lock (R.S. 14:67.7) as new elements of racketeering activity. This addition is intended to address and penalize these specific crimes within the broader context of racketeering.

The bill also authorizes the Louisiana State Law Institute to renumber the paragraphs of R.S. 15:1352(A) to accommodate the new insertions. Overall, the proposed law retains the existing framework of racketeering definitions while enhancing it by incorporating these additional offenses, thereby strengthening the legal tools available to combat racketeering in Louisiana.
