B. The executive director of the Louisiana Workforce Commission shall have the authority to exempt any participant from participating in the work opportunity program for the period of the first twelve weeks in which such a recipient is receiving unemployment insurance benefits if it is determined by the executive director that requiring this recipient to participate would interrupt a program in process for permanent self-support or conflict with an imminent likelihood of reemployment at the person's regular employment.
