Louisiana Sex Offender Laws and Registration Rules
Sex offender registration in Louisiana is governed by RS 15:540 and related statutes through RS 15:549. These laws set out who must register, what information they must provide, how often they must check in, and how long they stay on the registry. The law covers anyone convicted of a qualifying offense in Louisiana and anyone who moves here after a conviction in another state.
Louisiana uses three tiers. Tier I offenders register for 15 years with annual check-ins. Tier II offenders register for 25 years and check in every 6 months. Tier III offenders, those convicted of the most serious crimes, register for life and check in every 90 days. The court assigns the tier at sentencing based on the offense type and prior record. An offender cannot change their tier without a court order.
Under RS 15:542, registered offenders must report changes within 3 business days. This covers home address, employer, school, phone numbers, vehicles, and online accounts including email and social media handles. Each change not reported on time is treated as a separate violation.
The public can view registry data under RS 15:541 and Louisiana's public records law. Using that data to threaten or harass a registrant or their family, however, may result in criminal charges or civil liability.
