Louisiana’s Open Meetings Law ensures its locals the ability to find, get, and use records kept by government bodies, including arrest records, court public records, marriage and divorce licenses, and records of traffic violations, and this right extends to the residents of Edgard. These laws, or rather compilation of laws, provide Edgard citizens the ability to look for, document, and apply this data, which includes particulars about those concerned, if the event took place, the outcomes associated with a municipal motion, and particulars on what took place. Edgard is committed to promoting a free and open culture, and embraces these laws and regulations, offering its residents the equipment they need to hold both government bodies and criminals similarly culpable for their actions.
