Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 44, § 39. Microfilm and electronic digitized records; use as evidence

A. All persons and public bodies having custody or control of any public records of the state of Louisiana or any of its subdivisions may utilize any appropriate form of the microphotographic process, or an electronic digitizing process capable of reproducing an unalterable and accessible image of the original source document, for the recordation, filing, and preservation of all existing public records, provided that the use of such microphotographic or electronic digitizing processes is not otherwise prohibited by law.

C. Any microfilm or electronically digitized copy, when satisfactorily identified, shall be considered to be an original itself, and shall be admissible in evidence in all courts or administrative proceedings in any agency, whether the original document is in existence or not, and an enlargement or facsimile of a reproduction is likewise admissible in evidence, if the original reproduction is in existence and available for inspection under direction of the court or the administrative agency. Original records shall remain subject to subpoena.
