Committee reestablishes Judicial Security Task Force to study courthouse safety after Orleans incidents
Summary
House Concurrent Resolution 32 reestablished the Judicial Security Task Force created in 2024 to study courthouse and judicial security needs; members moved the measure favorably without objection.
The committee moved House Concurrent Resolution 32 favorably to continue and reestablish the Judicial Security Task Force created by HCR 40 (2024).
Representative Boyd said the task force will study courthouse and courtroom security needs and costs following recent incidents in Orleans Parish that prompted judges to go into protective status. "This is to help them figure out what else is needed and how much it will cost," she said.
Representative LaFleur moved the resolution favorably; there were no objections and the measure was reported. The sponsor said the extension is necessary because the original task force requires reauthorization under committee rules.
