La. R.S. 51:3074(J), 51:1405(A)

What follows is LexLint's own research summary of this law, not legal advice.

Commencement not set.

An enforcement supervision rule binding public and private bodies.

As of 28 August 2026.

What it requires

  • Do not assume Louisiana forecloses a private right of action for a data-privacy violation generally. The comprehensive LDPA does; this separate breach-notification statute does not, because its deeming clause carries no carve-out of R.S. 51:1409.

What this law does

Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.

A violation of the Database Security Breach Notification Law is deemed an unfair act or practice under R.S. 51:1405(A), with no carve-out of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Law's own private-action provision. This is the opposite private-right-of-action answer from the LDPA in the same title of the same code: the LDPA expressly excludes R.S. 51:1409 and 1409.1, while this breach statute's deeming clause carries no such exclusion.

The specific amendment that added subsection (J)'s deeming clause is not independently dated, so no effective date is recorded for this instrument beyond the statute's current codified text.
