House Bill No. by Representative Chassion aims to enhance the protection of personal information for current law enforcement officers by adding them to the list of "protected individuals" under Louisiana's public records law. The bill enacts R.S. 44:11.2(A)(10), which defines a "protected individual" to include current law enforcement officers, thereby allowing them to request that public bodies or third parties refrain from publishing or removing certain personal information. This aligns with existing protections for other judicial and legislative figures, such as justices, judges, and elected officials.

The bill retains the current definitions of "personal information," which encompasses various sensitive data such as home addresses, phone numbers, and social security numbers, while also maintaining the stipulation that these protections do not apply to information publicly posted by the office of the secretary of state. Overall, the proposed law seeks to bolster the privacy and security of law enforcement personnel by formally recognizing their status as protected individuals under the law.
