LAC 46:LXXI.2103. Cause for Provisional License Status Issuance

A. Failure to obtain the minimum required continuing education credits prior to each annual renewal period shall be cause for an active registered sanitarian's license to be downgraded to a provisional license status. In addition, failure to submit proper documentation of training credits received upon written request of the board and within the time limit specified by the board shall be cause for an active registered sanitarian's license to be downgraded to a provisional license status. B. Once the board has downgraded an active registered sanitarian's license to a provisional license status, it shall be incumbent upon the board to promptly notify an active registered sanitarian of such action, including the reason for such action and the consequences for failure to cure the problem. C. Notification of provisional license status shall be done by certified mail-return receipt requested or hand delivery. For sanitarians employed by the state of Louisiana, a copy of such action shall be sent by regular mail to the appropriate supervisor(s) and human resource office(s) to inform them that their employee has effectively been placed "on notice" by the board.
