Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024
A. Companies wishing to do business in Louisiana must either incorporate here or be duly qualified to do business within this state with a valid certificate of authority issued by the secretary of state and shall have an agent for service of process designated, as required by law.
B. Out of state companies, or individuals wishing to do business in Louisiana, who satisfied all the licensing requirements outlined by R.S. 37:3507, may do so without examination if the state under which it holds a valid license has licensing requirements comparable to those of Louisiana. Verification of satisfactory completion of such other state's examination must be submitted to the board. If the out-of-state company or individual is licensed by a state that does not have licensing requirements comparable to those of Louisiana, then the company or individual must satisfy all the licensing requirements outlined in R.S. 37:3507.
C. Fees for out-of-state companies are the same as for in-state companies except that an out-of-state company shall be required to pay the board for the cost of transportation, lodging, and meals at the Louisiana state rate when an examination of records is performed if those records are kept out-of-state.
AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 37:3505(B)(1).
