Section LV-314 - Integrity of Examination

A. The board may reject an examination for any license or endorsement under this Chapter, if the board determines that the applicant completed any portion of any such examination with the assistance of any other person or unauthorized written materials secreted into the examination site. Examinees will be allowed to utilize board approved resource or industry code materials or permitted by authorized third-party examiners. Examinees determined to have violated the prohibitions of this Section shall be notified in writing and, upon request by the examinee or at the direction of the executive director, an informal conference before the executive director or committee appointed by the board will be conducted. An affected examinee may appeal the determination reached in the informal conference by filing a written appeal with the board. Such appeal hearings shall comport with the provisions of R.S. 49:955(B). Based on the evidence adduced at any such hearing, the board may impose sanctions upon the examinee with respect to any subsequently administered examination and related licensing.

B. The board is empowered to act upon reports of violation of Subsection A of this Section by examinees received from private or public organizations recognized as examiners under §§304, 306, 313, or 310 and impose sanctions as described in this Section.
