House Bill No. by Representative Cox proposes the enactment of R.S. 14:95.11, which establishes the crime of allowing a minor child to access a readily dischargeable firearm. The bill outlines that individuals who fail to secure a firearm in a manner that prevents access by a minor child, resulting in the child either discharging the firearm and causing injury or exhibiting it in a threatening manner, will face penalties of up to six months of imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000, or both. The bill also includes specific definitions for terms such as "firearm," "minor child," "readily dischargeable firearm," and "secure."

Additionally, the legislation provides exceptions to the offense, such as when a minor unlawfully enters a dwelling to take the firearm, uses it for hunting or sporting activities, engages in lawful defense, or when the firearm is carried on a person. It also stipulates that arrests for violations cannot occur until seven days after the alleged offense if the offender is a family member of the minor who discharged the firearm and the minor caused serious injury to themselves. The bill is referred to as "Noah's Law."
