At that time the Committee also voted to recommend that the Board undertake the following additional rule-making efforts: (i) to adopt staff=s recommendations to include a number of causes that may give rise to the denial, suspension, or revocation of licensure; (ii) to delete Chapter 111 of its rules so that the Board may continue to handle disciplinary proceedings relative to CLP applicants/licensees as it does for all other allied health care providers; and (iii) to eliminate certification examinations CLS-G/CLS-T offered by two organizations which, in the view of the Committee, do not provide the minimum acceptable education, clinical, employment or experience requirements requisite to licensure. The Board requested that Dr. Gage-White seek clarification on item (iii) for the military personnel, approved the Committee’s recommendations and decided to provide Notice of Intent to adopt the rules in the Louisiana Register.

With the input of the Podiatry Advisory Committee and the Louisiana Orthopedic Association, a draft of such rules was presented for consideration and discussion.
