§ 37:2811 — Recordation of license

A. Within thirty days of the commencement of his practice, every licensee shall record his license or a duplicate original with the clerk of court for the parish in which he practices. Upon the request of the licensee, the board shall issue a duplicate original of his license, and the licensee shall record it with the clerk of court in the parishes designated by the licensee. The clerk of court shall make this recordation in a book to be kept for that purpose only. The clerk of court may charge a fee of one dollar for the recordation.
B. In the event that a license is suspended, revoked, or otherwise restricted by the board, the board shall notify the clerk of court where the license was recorded. When a license is revoked, the clerk of court shall cancel such recordation. When a license is suspended or otherwise restricted, the clerk shall note on the original recordation the suspension or restriction imposed.
C. The board shall maintain a list of the names and office addresses of the holders of the licenses issued under this Part. This list shall be received in evidence by the courts as proof that the individuals named are duly registered. The board may strike from this list the name of any person whose license has been suspended or revoked or may state any restriction imposed on such license. The board may furnish such list to any agency, board, or organization having a reasonable need for such list.
D. The provisions of this Section shall not be construed to require an annual recordation of the license renewal.
