LAC 46:XXIX.711. Penalties [Formerly §715]

A. In accordance with the provisions of R.S. 37:2164, the board and subcommittee, subject to final approval by the Licensing Board for Contractors, shall have the authority to issue a fine not to exceed 10 percent of the total contract being performed for each violation for the causes listed in R.S. 37:2158. B. When a fine, administrative fee, or other monetary penalty is assessed by either the board or the residential subcommittee, that amount is payable within 60 days or as provided by law. The failure to pay fines is a basis upon which the board may deny issuance or renewal of a license or registration. If fines are not paid within 60 days or as provided by law, the board may pursue collection of the fines.
