Senate Bill No. 141, introduced by Senator Morris, amends the jurisdiction and administration of the Integrated Criminal Justice Information System Policy Board by placing it under the authority of the Louisiana Supreme Court, instead of the previously designated Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Criminal Justice, office of the governor. This change is reflected in the amendments to R.S. 15:1228 and 1228.5(4), which remove references to the commission and replace them with the Supreme Court.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the Supreme Court will now be responsible for providing the necessary clerical, professional, or technical staff to the policy board, as well as allowing the board to request additional personnel or technical assistance from any unit of the executive branch of state government with the concurrence of the chief executive officer of the involved agency. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the expiration of the time for bills to become law without signature.
