LA Rev Stat § 15:560 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§560. Legislative findings

RS 560 - Legislative findings A. The Legislature of Louisiana has long recognized the need to protect our most innocent and defenseless citizens from sex offenders, sexually violent predators, and child predators and has enacted statutory provisions to provide one of the most extensive sex offender registration and notification laws in the United States. B. The legislature has enacted provisions requiring lifetime registration of sexually violent predators and has legislatively created the sexually violent predator commission as the entity which would determine which offenders are sexually violent predators. However, those provisions have rarely been utilized. C. The legislature finds that sexually violent predators and child sexual predators often pose a high risk of engaging in sex offenses and crimes against victims who are minors after being released from incarceration or commitment and that the protection of the public from sexually violent predators is of paramount governmental interest. D. In consideration of the potentially high rate of recidivism and the harm which can be done to the most defenseless members of the public by sexually violent predators and child sexual predators, the state has a compelling interest in ensuring compliance with the provisions of law regarding sex offender registration and notification to protect the public from harm as those offenders are released from incarceration and are returned to their communities. E. The state also has a compelling interest in using its limited resources wisely and monitoring those offenders who pose the greatest risk to the health and safety of our citizens. F. Therefore, it is the policy of this state to facilitate the identification of those offenders who are sexually violent predators and child sexual predators and to require that those offenders register as sex offenders for life to ensure compliance with those registration and notification requirements by enactment of sex offender assessment panels to evaluate all sex offenders prior to their release from incarceration as provided for in this Chapter.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§560.1. Definitions

RS 560.1 - Definitions For the purposes of this Chapter: (1) "Child sexual predator" means a person who has been convicted of a sex offense as defined in R.S. 15:541 and who is likely to engage in additional sex offenses against children, because he has a mental abnormality or condition which can be verified by a physician or psychologist, or because he has a history of committing crimes, wrongs, or acts involving sexually assaultive behavior or acts which indicate a lustful disposition toward children, as determined by the court upon receipt and review of relevant information including the recommendation by the sex offender assessment panel as provided for by this Chapter. (2) "Court" means the judicial district court where the offender was sentenced. (3) "Judicial determination" means a decision by the court that an offender is or continues to be a child sexual predator or a sexually violent predator as provided for by this Chapter. (4) "Mental abnormality" means a congenital or acquired condition of a person that affects the emotional or volitional capacity of the person in a manner that predisposes that person to the commission of criminal sexual acts to a degree that makes the person a menace to the health and safety of others.

(5) "Sexually violent predator" means an offender who has been convicted of a sex offense as defined in R.S. 15:541 and who has a mental abnormality or antisocial personality disorder that makes the offender likely to engage in predatory sexually violent offenses as determined by the court upon receipt and review of relevant information including the recommendation of the sex offender assessment panel as provided for by this Chapter.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§560.4. Electronic monitoring of sexually violent predators or child sexual predators

RS 560.4 - Electronic monitoring of sexually violent predators or child sexual predators A. Each sexual offender determined to be a sexually violent predator or a child sexual predator pursuant to the provisions of this Chapter shall be required to be electronically monitored by the division of probation and parole, Department of Public Safety and Corrections, in a fashion that provides for electronic location tracking. B. Unless it is determined by the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, pursuant to rules adopted in accordance with the provisions of this Section, that a sexual offender is unable to pay all or any portion of such costs, each sexual offender to be electronically monitored shall pay the cost of such monitoring. C. The costs attributable to the electronic monitoring of an offender who has been determined unable to pay shall be borne by the department if, and only to the degree that, sufficient funds are made available for such purpose whether by appropriation of state funds or from any other source. Only in the case that a sexual offender determined to be a sexually violent predator or a child sexual predator is unable to pay his own electronic monitoring costs, and there are no funds available to the department to pay for such monitoring, may the requirements of electronic monitoring be waived. D. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall develop, adopt, and promulgate rules, in the manner provided in the Administrative Procedure Act, that provide for the payment of such costs. Such rules shall contain specific guidelines which shall be used to determine the ability of the offender to pay the required costs and shall establish the reasonable costs to be charged. Such rules may provide for a sliding scale of payment so that an offender who is able to pay a portion, but not all of such costs, may be required to pay such portion. E.(1) A person who fails to comply with the requirements of electronic monitoring shall, upon first conviction, be fined not more than one thousand dollars, imprisoned at hard labor for not less than two years nor more than ten years without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. (2) Upon a second or subsequent conviction, the offender shall be fined three thousand dollars, imprisoned at hard labor for not less than five years nor more than twenty years without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence.

If the court grants the petition for review, the court shall refer the case to the panel for review in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 15:560.2, and a recommendation to the court for a judicial determination as to whether or not the sex offender continues to be a sexually violent predator or a child sexual predator. After receiving the recommendation of the panel, the court shall schedule a hearing and provide notice of the hearing in accordance with the provisions of R.S. 15:560.2(I).

LA Rev Stat § 15:561 (2021)
2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 15 - Criminal Procedure|§561. Legislative findings

RS 561 - Legislative findings A. The Legislature of Louisiana has long recognized the need to protect our most innocent and defenseless citizens from sex offenders, sexually violent predators, and child predators and has enacted statutory provisions to provide some of the strictest criminal penalties for the commission of sex offenses, and one of the most extensive sex offender registration and notification provisions in the United States. B. The legislature finds that sex offenders, sexually violent predators, and child predators often pose a high risk of engaging in sex offenses and crimes against victims who are minors even after being released from incarceration or commitment and that the protection of the public from sex offenders, sexually violent predators, and child predators is of paramount governmental interest. C. In consideration of the potential high rate of recidivism and the harm which can be done to the most defenseless members of the public by sex offenders, sexually violent predators, and child predators, the state has a compelling interest in ensuring compliance with the provisions of law regarding sex offender registration and notification to protect the public from harm as those offenders are released from incarceration and are returned to their communities. D.
