This bill amends the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Criminal Procedure in Louisiana to allow court filings to be submitted on either legal or letter size paper, effective January 1, 2026. It specifies that all filings by attorneys must be made 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 not included in filings, prohibiting the inclusion of certain sensitive data such as the first five digits of social security numbers and other personal identifiers.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the clerk of court adopt a system for the electronic filing and storage of pleadings and documents, with the electronic filing being considered officially filed based on the confirmation timestamp from the system. Public access to these electronically filed documents will be governed by the same rules that apply to paper filings. The changes aim to modernize the filing process while maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive information.
