| Question | PASS-03 result |
|---|---|
| General legal successor to the abolished Department of Occupational Standards | Established at a general statutory level: office of the governor, through the commissioner of administration |
| Express transfer of Chapter 33 or its “Division of Occupational Standards” licensing function | Not established |
| Current office actually administering Chapter 33 | Unresolved |
| Current applicable Louisiana Administrative Code rules | No responsive operative rule recovered; absence not established |
| Current Chapter 33 application, renewal form, bond form, or filing instructions | Not recovered |
| Current registry, licensee list, or active provider record | Not recovered |
| Present commercial provider permission | Not established |
| Effect on R.S. 14:331 conflict or PASS-01 fee conclusions | None |
The strongest new primary evidence is current R.S. 36:4.1(D). It states that the Department of Occupational Standards “is hereby abolished” and its functions are “transferred to the governor, through the commissioner of administration,” to be exercised under R.S. 36:921 et seq. The section history attributes that transfer to Acts 2001, No. 8, §11, effective July 1, 2001, with later amendments through 2025. Louisiana Legislature
That establishes a general department-level statutory successor. It does not, on the evidence recovered here, establish a currently operating Chapter 33 licensing unit. The transfer provision identifies the abolished department parenthetically by its organic provisions, R.S. 37:1–15; it does not expressly name R.S. 37:2581–2600. More importantly, Chapter 33 defines its actor as the director of the Division of Occupational Standards, while R.S. 36:4.1 abolishes the Department of Occupational Standards. No transfer order, organization plan, rule, or authoritative operational document was recovered that expressly equates those two entities or assigns the Chapter 33 function to a current office.
Accordingly:
The office of the governor through the commissioner of administration is the verified general statutory transferee of the abolished Department of Occupational Standards, but the current Chapter 33 administering office and operational license pathway remain unverified.
This is not a conclusion that Chapter 33 is repealed, dormant, unavailable, or currently administered by no one.
R.S. 36:4.1 supplies the following legal structure:
The separate treatment of the Office of Financial Institutions is important. Nothing in R.S. 36:4.1 assigns Chapter 33 to OFI merely because Chapter 33 concerns financial services. OFI cannot be substituted as the licensing authority by subject-matter resemblance alone.
R.S. 36:921 places an abolished agency’s powers, duties, functions, programs, and operations under the secretary of the transferee department. The secretary may assign those functions to the undersecretary, another transferred agency, an office within the department, or another legally consistent administrative arrangement. Louisiana Legislature
R.S. 36:922 provides that pending business is taken over by the transferee and that the transferee department and secretary become the abolished agency’s successor. R.S. 36:923 generally substitutes the transferee department or secretary for references to an abolished agency in laws, contracts, and other documents. Louisiana Legislature+1
R.S. 36:924–927 continue or transfer, as applicable:
These are meaningful continuity provisions, but they remain general transfer mechanics. They do not identify which modern office, division, employee, or public portal presently performs Chapter 33 licensing.
R.S. 36:923 replaces references to an abolished agency with references to the transferee department or secretary. Chapter 33, however, defines “director” as the director of the Division of Occupational Standards, not the director of the Department of Occupational Standards.
A possible interpretation is that the Division was part of the abolished Department and its Chapter 33 functions therefore followed the Department’s general transfer. But PASS-03 did not recover:
Applying R.S. 36:923 directly to the Chapter 33 “Division” reference would therefore require an unverified organizational premise. PASS-03 does not make that inference as a settled conclusion.
The current published Title 37 still contains provisions that:
In particular:
No actual organization plan, gubernatorial authorization, assignment instrument, standard practice instruction, or current annual report was recovered.
The result is a published-text coexistence:
PASS-03 does not decide how a court or agency would reconcile that residual text. It treats R.S. 36:4.1 as the express transfer evidence and the Title 37 provisions as historical or residual statutory architecture that does not itself prove a presently staffed Department.
| Time or authority | Named actor | Express function or consequence | Chapter 33 significance | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R.S. 37:2582, enacted context reused from PASS-02 | Director of the Division of Occupational Standards | Chapter 33 statutory “director” | Facial Chapter 33 actor | Published text; operational identity unknown |
| Current published R.S. 37:2–5 | Department and Director of Occupational Standards | Creates and organizes Department; director is departmental head | Possible historical organizational context | Residual published text; not proof of an active office |
| Current published R.S. 37:7–9 | Governor and departmental director | Internal reorganization, organization plan, and administrative rules | Could have supported an assignment or rule framework | Authority text read; no actual assignment, plan, or rule recovered |
| R.S. 36:4.1(D); history identifies July 1, 2001 transfer | Governor through commissioner of administration, office of governor | Abolishes Department of Occupational Standards and transfers its functions | Establishes department-level statutory succession | Verified, but not Chapter 33-specific |
| R.S. 36:921 | Secretary of transferee department; here statutorily defined as governor through commissioner | Administers and may assign transferred functions | Could permit internal assignment of former Department functions | Verified general authority; actual assignment unknown |
| R.S. 36:922–927 | Transferee department and secretary | Continues business, references, proceedings, obligations, records, assets, and personnel | Supports general continuity | Verified general continuity only |
| Office of Financial Institutions | Separately placed office under R.S. 36:4.1(B) | Financial-institution functions under its own law | No Chapter 33 transfer located | Not established as Chapter 33 actor |
| Office of Debt Recovery | Government-debt collection actor | Government receivables | No Chapter 33 private-provider function shown | Rejected false equivalence; prior limitation preserved |
| Current Chapter 33 licensing administrator | — | Applications, bonds, issuance, renewals, investigations, rules | Necessary for operational market access | Unresolved |
The Louisiana Office of State Register states that it publishes the state’s rulemaking documents. Its Louisiana Administrative Code page describes the LAC as the state-certified publication of rules formally adopted or amended through promulgation in the Louisiana Register. The Office further states that finalized rules appear in the LAC, while proposed rules, emergency rules, final rules, and related notices appear in the monthly Register. Louisiana Division of Administration+2
The Office identifies three relevant research tools:
These are the proper official routes for determining whether Chapter 33 rules were adopted, transferred, amended, or repealed.
The official current LAC index was successfully opened through the Louisiana Division of Administration’s doa.louisiana.gov host. It identifies, among other potentially relevant compilations:
The official index contains no separately identified part titled:
Exact-term searches of the official index returned no matches for “Financial Planning,” “Debt Adjuster,” or “Debt Management.” “Occupational Standards” appeared only as the general subject label for the numerous profession-specific Title 46 parts. Louisiana Division of Administration+3
This establishes only that no standalone current LAC part bearing those names appears in the official index. It does not establish that no rule exists inside another title or generically named part.
The current official compilations are linked as Microsoft Word documents. The following official files were opened through the public web tool but could not be parsed because that content type was unsupported:
No claim is made that these files were read. Title 46:XXXVII was also shown by the official index to concern embalmers and funeral directors, not Chapter 33. Louisiana Division of Administration
Because the relevant compilations were not full-text readable in the permitted public-web route, PASS-03 cannot make a corpus-wide negative finding.
The official Office of State Register archive was opened. It provides monthly Louisiana Register volumes from 1975 forward, including every month of 2001. The archive landing page itself contains no matching text for “Financial Planning,” “Debt Adjuster,” or “Occupational Standards.” Louisiana Division of Administration+4
The individual monthly issues and their cumulative indices were not all read. Therefore:
A search for “R.S. 37:2595” produced misleading results containing strings such as “LR 37:2595.” In those results, “LR 37:2595” means Louisiana Register volume 37, page 2595—not Revised Statutes section 37:2595. The returned material concerned education rules and was rejected as nonresponsive. Louisiana Division of Administration+1
The following exact or near-exact searches were run against official Louisiana domains on October 25, 2026:
Searches were confined principally to:
No responsive official rule, notice of intent, final rule, repeal notice, transfer notice, application, bond form, renewal form, registry, or Chapter 33 program page was recovered.
This is an evidence-trail result, not proof that no such record exists.
No actually recovered and read administrative rule adds to or modifies the Chapter 33 statutory architecture. Consequently, PASS-03 does not establish any rule-based:
The PASS-02 observation that the statute itself does not supply a trust or segregated-account mandate, branch-license rule, general retention period, or detailed hearing procedure remains unchanged. PASS-03 did not find an administrative rule filling those gaps.
Louisiana’s current official licenses page describes its Professional/Occupational Licensing directory as a route to licensing organizations, applications, and license searches. The full directory page was opened and searched. It contained no matching text for:
This is relevant operational evidence but is not dispositive. The portal describes access to Louisiana’s “many” licensing boards; it does not state that it is a legally exhaustive inventory of every direct executive licensing function.
The official Boards and Commissions directory was opened and its listed entities reviewed. Searches found no board named for:
That absence does not resolve Chapter 33 because Chapter 33 assigns functions to a director rather than expressly creating a separate board. A direct office-of-the-governor function could therefore be absent from a boards directory.
PASS-03 did not recover:
No named provider was searched or classified as authorized. A provider’s marketing statement would not have been sufficient in any event.
The general statutory transferee can be identified, but the actual modern licensing program cannot.
The evidence supports this precise formulation:
At the department-successor level, R.S. 36:4.1 assigns the abolished Department of Occupational Standards’ functions to the office of the governor through the commissioner of administration. Public evidence recovered in PASS-03 does not identify a current office, employee, division, form, rule, registry, or filing route administering Chapter 33 specifically.
That is an unresolved operational record—not proof that the chapter has no administrator or that a license cannot legally issue.
| Category | Evidence | Proper use | Improper inference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Verified current published transfer text | R.S. 36:4.1(D); R.S. 36:921–927 | Identify the office of governor through commissioner as general successor to abolished Department functions | Treat as proof that a particular current division accepts Chapter 33 applications |
| Verified residual Title 37 text | R.S. 37:2–15 remains published | Understand the historical Department architecture and possible assignment mechanisms | Treat residual text as proof the Department currently exists and is staffed |
| Verified Chapter 33 facial architecture | PASS-02 R.S. 37:2581–2600 reading | Establish statutory application, issuance, renewal, operating, and enforcement structure | Treat facial architecture as proof of an active program |
| Verified rule-publication system | OSR, LAC, Register, ACU, cumulative index | Identify official rule sources and research routes | Infer rule absence solely from an index-label search |
| Negative current portal evidence | No matching program on licenses or board directories | Record absence from searched public portals | Conclude licenses cannot exist |
| Search-only evidence | Official-domain searches returned no responsive forms, rules, or registry | Document public search gap | Convert search failure into legal repeal or inactivity |
| Historical or inherited actor evidence | Chapter 33’s “Division of Occupational Standards” director | Preserve the actor named by the statute | Automatically equate Division with abolished Department |
| Unknown | Present administering unit, assignment order, rules, forms, registry, licensees | Maintain explicit hold | Assign OFI, ODR, DOA General Counsel, or another office speculatively |

|---|---|---|---|
| S_LA-P3-C001 | Current published R.S. 36:4.1(D) abolishes the Department of Occupational Standards and transfers its functions to the office of the governor through the commissioner of administration. | S001, subsection D and A definitions | High for published text; original 2001 act itself was not read. |
| S_LA-P3-C002 | The current section history identifies Acts 2001, No. 8, §11, effective July 1, 2001, as the transfer enactment. | S001, history | High for published history line; not an original-session-act audit. |
| S_LA-P3-C003 | R.S. 36:921 places abolished-agency functions under the transferee secretary and permits lawful internal assignment. | S002, A–B | High for text; no actual Chapter 33 assignment was recovered. |
| S_LA-P3-C004 | R.S. 36:922–923 provide general successor and reference-substitution mechanisms for abolished agencies. | S003–S004 | High for text; applying them to Chapter 33’s differently named “Division” remains interpretive. |
| S_LA-P3-C005 | R.S. 36:924–927 preserve or transfer proceedings, obligations, records, assets, and necessary employees. | S005–S008 | High for general continuity; no Chapter 33 record, asset, or employee was identified. |
| S_LA-P3-C006 | Current published Title 37 still contains organic provisions creating and organizing a Department of Occupational Standards. | S009–S021 | High for published text; operational effect must be reconciled with S001 and is not decided here. |
| S_LA-P3-C007 | R.S. 37:7–9 permit internal division changes, organizational planning, and administrative rules, but no actual plan, assignment, or Chapter 33 rule was recovered. | S013–S015, S037 | High for authority text; negative result is limited to searched public evidence. |
| S_LA-P3-C008 | R.S. 37:11 contains broad Department licensing functions but does not expressly identify Chapter 33 or a modern successor office. | S017 | High for text; Chapter 33 fit and current effect remain unresolved. |
| S_LA-P3-C009 | The Chapter 33 actor is styled director of the “Division of Occupational Standards,” while R.S. 36:4.1 abolishes the “Department of Occupational Standards.” | S038 compared with S001 | High for textual distinction; historical organizational relationship was not established. |
| S_LA-P3-C010 | No reviewed transfer instrument expressly names R.S. 37:2581–2600 or assigns Chapter 33 to a current office. | S001–S021, S037–S040 | High-confidence evidence limitation, not proof no assignment exists. |
| S_LA-P3-C011 | No basis was established for assigning Chapter 33 to the Office of Financial Institutions, Office of Debt Recovery, or another similarly named financial or collection agency. | S001 subsection B; supplied ODR limitation; S037 | High as an evidence limitation; not a comprehensive agency-jurisdiction opinion. |
| S_LA-P3-C012 | The Office of State Register and LAC are the official public routes for promulgated Louisiana administrative rules and rule history. | S022–S025 | High. |
| S_LA-P3-C013 | The official current LAC index has no separately listed part bearing the Chapter 33 service name or the searched debt-adjuster labels. | S025, exact-term results | High for the index; not a full-text absence finding. |
| S_LA-P3-C014 | No applicable operative Chapter 33 rule, adoption notice, amendment, transfer, or repeal notice was recovered. | S022–S030, S037 | Moderate-to-high as a search result; corpus-wide absence cannot be inferred because linked compilations and all historical issues were not read. |
| S_LA-P3-C015 | Current Title 4, Title 10, and selected Title 46 compilation files could not be read through the available public-web parser. | S026–S029 | High as an access limitation. |
| S_LA-P3-C016 | Search results using “LR 37:2595” were nonresponsive Register-volume/page citations rather than citations to R.S. 37:2595. | S036 | High. |
| S_LA-P3-C017 | Louisiana’s current licenses directory contains no matching Chapter 33, debt-adjuster, debt-management, or Occupational Standards program entry. | S031 | High for rendered directory; directory is not proven exhaustive. |
| S_LA-P3-C018 | The current Boards and Commissions list contains no matching Chapter 33 or Occupational Standards board. | S032–S033 | High for list; Chapter 33 does not necessarily require a board. |
| S_LA-P3-C019 | No current application, renewal form, bond form, filing instruction, registry, licensee list, or active provider record was recovered. | S025–S033, S037 | High-confidence evidence limitation, not proof the documents or licenses do not exist. |
| S_LA-P3-C020 | A general statutory transferee has been identified, but a present operational Chapter 33 licensing administrator has not. | C001–C019 | Supported bounded synthesis; no speculative office assignment. |
| S_LA-P3-C021 | No PASS-03 authority reconciles Chapter 33 with R.S. 14:331 or creates an express licensee exception. | S001–S042, especially S041 | High as bounded P3 finding; implied repeal, harmonization, or constitutional analysis remains outside this pass. |
| S_LA-P3-C022 | PASS-03 does not change any PASS-01 or PASS-02 consumer-fee, federal-timing, currentness, or market-access hold. | C001–C021 | High as scope and evidence conclusion. |
| S_LA-P3-C023 | No named provider was shown to possess current Louisiana Chapter 33 authority. | S019 and search limits | High; no provider-specific audit was undertaken. |
| S_LA-P3-C024 | The public evidence does not support declaring Chapter 33 repealed, dormant, unenforceable, or administratively available. | C001–C023 | High-confidence boundary statement; each categorical proposition remains unresolved. |
