House Bill No. by Representative Mandie Landry seeks to expand the definition of video voyeurism under Louisiana law. The bill enacts a new provision, R.S. 14:283(A)(4), which specifically includes the use of any camera, videotape, photo-optical, photo-electric, or other image recording devices, as well as unmanned aircraft systems equipped with such devices, for the purpose of observing, viewing, photographing, filming, or videotaping the body of a deceased person. This addition aims to address and penalize the inappropriate use of technology in situations involving deceased individuals.

The proposed law retains the existing framework of video voyeurism while explicitly outlining this new conduct as a criminal offense. By doing so, it enhances the legal protections against invasive and disrespectful actions towards deceased persons, ensuring that such behavior is subject to penalties under the law.
