§1749.21. Miscellaneous provisions
A. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the provisions of this Part shall not affect any civil remedies for personal injury or property damage, including damage to underground facilities or utilities.
B. Nothing in this Part shall affect any permitting process granted to a parish, municipal, local, or state governing authority. If a permit is issued in conjunction with excavation or demolition subject to the provisions of this Part, upon issuing the permit, the governing authority is encouraged to distribute to the permittee information regarding compliance with the provisions of this Part. The regional notification centers shall provide the information to the governing authority for distribution. The failure of the governing authority to distribute the information shall not for that reason alone create any liability on the part of the governing authority or permittee nor otherwise reduce or limit the duties and responsibilities of excavators or demolishers under this Part.
