HB 658 Louisiana House · 2024 Regular Session

ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE: Provides relative to notifications prior to administrative revocation of a license (EN NO IMPACT See Note)

This bill updates Louisiana law to require government agencies to notify license holders by mail or electronic means before taking action to revoke, suspend, annul, or withdraw their licenses. The new provision ensures that agencies must inform licensees of the specific facts or conduct justifying the action and provide them a chance to demonstrate compliance with legal requirements before proceeding. While agencies retain the ability to issue emergency suspensions for immediate public safety concerns, the bill mandates that such actions be followed by prompt legal proceedings. This change primarily affects various regulated industries in Louisiana by standardizing the notification process for license enforcement.
