Louisiana House Bill 111 (HB 111), introduced by Representative Debbie Villio during the 2025 Regular Session, proposes changes to laws concerning the unlawful presence of certain sex offenders. As of May 6, 2025, the bill passed the House unanimously and is now pending introduction in the Senate.
Implications for Life Safety and Property Protection Professionals
While HB 111 does not directly amend the Life Safety and Property Protection Licensing Act, it has potential implications for professionals in this field. The bill’s focus on restricting the presence of certain sex offenders could lead to increased demand for security measures in areas such as schools, parks, and other public spaces. This may result in a higher need for surveillance systems, access control, and other protective services.
Additionally, businesses involved in property protection may need to stay informed about the specific provisions of HB 111 to ensure compliance with any new regulations that affect their operations. Engaging with professional associations and monitoring legislative developments will be crucial for adapting to these potential changes.
