LA Rev Stat § 46:2365 (2015) What's This?

§2365. Determination of interpreter's/transliterator's qualifications

A. Before appointing an interpreter/transliterator, the appointing authority shall make a preliminary determination, based on the hearing-impaired person's needs, the certification of an interpreter/transliterator and upon the recommendation of the Louisiana Commission for the Deaf. If the interpreter/transliterator is not able to facilitate effective communication with the hearing-impaired person, the appointing authority shall provide another qualified interpreter/transliterator.

B. Upon request of the person for whom the interpreter/transliterator is appointed, or on the appointing authority's own motion, an interpreter/transliterator may be removed for the inability to communicate with the hearing impaired person, or if, for reasonable cause, another interpreter/transliterator is so desired by the hearing impaired person for whom the interpreter/transliterator is serving.
