This bill enacts new provisions in the Louisiana Code of Criminal Procedure regarding electronic bonds. It introduces a definition for "electronic bond," which is described as a commercial bail bond contract executed digitally to ensure a defendant's appearance in court. Additionally, it establishes that electronic bonds can be executed in parishes where the sheriff has the necessary electronic bond software.

The bill outlines the requirements for agents to be approved by the sheriff to execute electronic bonds, including that licensed bail bond producers must apply to the sheriff and have been domiciled in Louisiana with a bail bond producer license for at least three years prior to their application. The sheriff may also require any documents necessary to verify the information provided in the application.
