Section LXXI-2109 - Cure of Provisional License Status

A. A sanitarian who has been placed on provisional license status may cure and return to full licensure status by fully complying with the requirements of §2101. A of this Chapter during the same calendar year in which he/she has been placed on provisional license status.

B. It shall be incumbent upon the sanitarian who has been placed on provisional license status to provide documentation to the board, prior to the end of the calendar year in which he/she was placed on provisional license status, that shows full compliance with the requirements of §2101. A of this Chapter. Such documentation should be sent to the board by certified mail-return receipt requested.

C. Upon the board's receipt, review, and approval of documentation indicating compliance with the requirements of §2101. A of this Chapter, the provisional license status shall be terminated by the board. Notification of the termination of provisional license status and the return to full license status shall be done by regular mail, using a certificate of mailing, or hand delivery. For sanitarians employed by the state of Louisiana, a copy of the notice terminating provisional license status shall also be sent by regular mail to the appropriate supervisor(s) and human resource office(s) to inform them that their employee has effectively been removed from the "on notice" status by the board.

D. This Section shall not be construed to allow a sanitarian to forego the continuing education requirements of the current calendar year while he/she is acquiring continuing education credits for the purpose of curing a provisional license issued due to failure to achieve continuing education requirements from one or more previous calendar years. In other words, at the end of the calendar year in which the sanitarian has been placed on provisional license status for violation of the requirements of this Chapter, one must also acquire all other continuing education credits necessary to bring oneself fully up to date and compliant with all continuing education requirements then required of him/her at the end of such calendar year.
