La. Child. Code art. 322
Current with operative changes from the 2024 Third Special Legislative Session
The purpose of this Chapter is to provide further protection for protected persons who are witnesses to or victims of a crime and to permit the trial concerning such crime to proceed with a minimum of additional intrusion into the lives of such protected persons. To effect this purpose, the need for a special exception to the hearsay rule allowing receipt of videotaped statements of the protected person's account and the need for closed-circuit television for transmitting certain protected person's testimony is recognized.
