Re-Inspection Fee Implementation - Act 66

Louisiana law, Act 66, authorizes the Louisiana Department of Health to charge a fee of $150 to any permitted food establishment that fails to correct the necessary sanitary code violations to be in compliance following its first re-inspection. 

Purpose

This law is intended to help prompt facilities to make the necessary corrections as soon as possible to protect public health.

Re-Inspection Fees

Re-inspections are required when there are five or more uncorrected non-critical violations and/or one or more uncorrected critical violations remaining at the conclusion of the routine inspection.

The fee is only charged if the necessary violations are not corrected at the end of the first re-inspection, and results in an additional re-inspection.

Establishments can avoid this fee if the violations noted on the routine inspection report are corrected by, or during, the first re-inspection.

Non-Payment Revocation

The $150 fee is payable within 30 days of the receipt of the payment notice. Failure to pay shall result in revocation of the permit.
