§2226. Exclusion of certain contractors from water well contracts
A. A contractor who is a resident of a state which has more stringent licensing requirements for the business of drilling, reworking, or otherwise constructing water wells at or in connection with the construction of a public park, roadside park, or other similar facility for public use than the licensing requirements of the state of Louisiana shall not be awarded a contract for the drilling, reworking, or otherwise constructing of a water well by the state or any of its departments, boards, commissions, or agencies or any political subdivision of the state.
B. Upon application to the attorney general by a public entity, the attorney general shall make the determination as to whether the licensing requirements of a state are more stringent than applicable laws of this state. The denial by the licensing authorities of another state of a license to a contractor who is a resident of and licensed in this state, when the denial is based upon the statutory qualifications of the applicant, shall constitute prima facie evidence that the licensing requirements of such state are more stringent than the Louisiana licensing requirements.
