Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 3, March 20, 2024

A. Certificate denial, suspension or revocation shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 3090(A) of R.S. 37:3081-3094, the state Administrative Procedures Act, and the procedural rules provided in Chapter 5 hereof.

B. The board may refuse to issue a license, or suspend, revoke or impose probationary conditions and restrictions on the license of a person on a finding of any of the causes provided by Section 3090 of the Louisiana Dietetic/Nutrition Practice Act.

C. A suspended license shall be subject to expiration and may be renewed as provided in this section, but such renewal shall not entitle the licensee, while the license remains suspended and until he or she is reinstated, to engage in the practice of dietetics and/or nutrition, or in any other conduct or activity in violation of the order of judgment by which the license was suspended. If a license is revoked on disciplinary grounds and is reinstated, the licensee, as a condition of reinstatement, shall pay the renewal fee and any late fee that may be applicable.

D. Disciplinary Options for Licensees Available to the board. In accordance with R.S. 37:3085, R.S. 37:3088, and R.S. 37:3090, the following disciplinary options are available to the board:

1. Revocation. The involuntary termination of the licensee's license.

2. Suspension. The licensee is not permitted to practice for a specified period of time. Rehabilitative conditions may be imposed to run concurrently with the suspension period.

3. Probation. The licensee is permitted to practice, but the board has imposed conditions upon the practice or the practitioner. Once the time period has elapsed, and the licensee has complied with the terms of probation, the board will allow the practitioner to resume practice unconditionally.

4. Restriction of License. A reduction in the scope of practice.

5. Censure. The board makes an official statement of censure concerning the individual.

6. Reprimand. Similar to censure. The board reproves the licensee.

7. Restitution. Requirement imposed upon the licensee that he or she makes financial or other restitution to a client, the board, or other injured party.

E. Publication of Disciplinary Action. The board will notify the professional community within 30 days of any disciplinary action, including the disciplined licensee's name, offense and sanction imposed. A notice of disciplinary action will also be published by the board.
