A. The Louisiana Licensed Professional Vocational Rehabilitation Counselors Board of Examiners, hereafter referred to as the "Board" or "LLPVRC," is dedicated to the promotion of professional rehabilitation counselor practice in Louisiana through licensure to advance the quality of service provided to persons with disabilities.

B. The board, in furthering its objectives, administers the Code of Professional Ethics for Licensed Rehabilitation Counselors that has been developed and approved by the board.

C.

1. The purpose of the LLPVRC Guidelines and Procedures for Processing Ethical Complaints is to facilitate the work of the LLPVRC Ethics Committee ("committee") by specifying the procedures for:
a. processing cases of alleged violation of the LLPVRC Code of Professional Ethics for Licensed Rehabilitation Counselors;

b. sanctioning licensed rehabilitation counselors (LRC); and

c. appeals.

2. The intent of the board is to monitor the professional conduct of its licensees to promote sound ethical practices. LLPVRC does not, however, warrant the performance of any individual.

E. Any failure to disclose pertinent information of which an LRC has direct personal knowledge or any misleading disclosure by an LRC with respect to an ethics charge, criminal case, disciplinary proceeding, or similar matter, concerning him/her, may constitute a violation.
