A public employer may require, as a condition of continued employment, samples from his employees to test for the presence of drugs following an accident during the course and scope of his employment, under other circumstances which result in reasonable suspicion that drugs are being used, or as a part of a monitoring program established by the employer to assure compliance with terms of a rehabilitation agreement.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 49 - State Administration|§1051. Statement of purpose

RS 1051 - Statement of purpose A. The legislature finds that geographically related information of potential use to the state of Louisiana has been collected and stored in numerous formats by many state entities. Geographic information system (GIS) technology is rapidly advancing, and many agencies throughout state government have used this technology to develop a variety of applications. No centralized geographically related data resource or network for data communication and exchange currently exists. This type of network can use available GIS technology to eliminate duplication of effort and unnecessary redundancy in data collections and systems and to provide for integration of geographically related data bases to facilitate the policy and planning purposes of the state of Louisiana. B. The legislature further finds that cooperation and coordination among the various state entities developing and maintaining GIS systems is necessary for the economical use of state resources allocated to acquire GIS technology and associated data bases. C. It is the purpose of this Chapter to create a mechanism for interagency cooperation in the sound development of state geographic information systems. Acts 1995, No. 922, §2.

2021 Louisiana Laws|Revised Statutes|Title 49 - State Administration|§1221. Legislative findings

RS 1221 - Legislative findings A. The legislature recognizes that there has been a dramatic increase over the past five years in the number of first and second generation Latin Americans who have made a home in Louisiana; this change is reflected in the forty-five percent increase in the Hispanic population of Louisiana between 2000 and 2007 according to the Pew Hispanic Center's tabulations of United States census data. B. The legislature further recognizes that residents who have recently arrived from Central and South America were and continue to be instrumental in the state's efforts to rebuild infrastructure and communities that were decimated by Hurricane Katrina and the other catastrophic hurricanes that have hit Louisiana. C. The legislature further recognizes that there are particular challenges associated with delivering government services to these recent arrivals; challenges that stem from a lack of awareness of the availability of services, language barriers, and other real world complexities. D. The legislature further recognizes that this nation and its individual states have been overcoming such challenges throughout our history; we have always been a nation comprised of people of many cultures. E. The legislature concludes from these findings that, at this point in history, the state has an obligation to make a concerted effort to reach out to these newly arrived residents of our state, many of whom have been so crucial to our survival of recent tragedies, to make sure they have access to all of the guidance and assistance the legislature intends to be made available to all residents of the state.
