House Bill No. by Representative Spell amends and reenacts Articles 323(A) and 324(A) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, which pertain to personal sureties in the context of bail. The bill clarifies the definitions of secured and unsecured personal sureties, specifying that a secured personal surety must mortgage immovable property located in Louisiana, while an unsecured personal surety does not need to provide property as security but must reside in the state and meet other requirements.

Additionally, the bill corrects an incorrect cross-reference to personal sureties in existing law, specifically in Article 311. The proposed changes aim to enhance the clarity and accuracy of the legal framework surrounding personal sureties and bail undertakings in Louisiana.
