2009 Regular Legislative
Session
During the 2009 Regular Legislative Session, the main focus of
legislative efforts were spent on SB 29 proposed by Senator
Riser. The bill was known as the " Anti-Caller ID Spoofing Act"
which would prohibit a caller from hiding his true identity by
modifying caller ID information with the intent to mislead,
defraud, or deceive the recipient of the telephone call. Through
the efforts of the LPIA members and our legislative lobbyist,
George Stiemel, an amendment to SB 29 was proposed by Senator
Nick Geautreaux which excluded licensed private investigators
from SB 29. Finally, SB 29 with an exclusion for licensed
private investigators was signed by the Governor becoming Act SB
29. Finally, SB 29 with an exclusion for licensed private
investigators was signed by the Governor becoming Act 105 and
taking effect August 15, 2009.
