Also required

Not registry lookups; ezOIG doesn't run these
  • Statewide criminal background check by Louisiana State Police before an offer of employment to direct care staff (LAC 48:I.4259(C)(3); La. R.S. 40:1203.2)

Why some registries are not screened yet

The registry's terms forbid automated searches
The registry's terms, or the law behind it, rule out automated or third-party searches, so ezOIG doesn't run them.
