RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 296 (SB 106) 2022 Regular Session Luneau
Existing law provides limitations on the initiation of disciplinary proceedings by professional
or occupational boards and commissions and does not apply to the Board of Medical
Examiners, Board of Dentistry, Cemetery Board, Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors,
Board of Examiners for Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology, Board of Pharmacy,
Board of Nursing, Board of Social Work Examiners, Physical Therapy Board, Board of
Practical Nurse Examiners, and certified public accountants.
New law retains existing law provisions and suspends the time periods for the initiation of
disciplinary proceeding by certain boards and commissions during the pendency of a legal
action involving the licensee as a party or witness if the complaint arises from the same facts
giving rise to the legal action or arises from the licensee's activities in the legal action.
New law defines "legal action".
Effective August 1, 2022.
