Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 26, § 95. Convictions by court not essential to withholding, suspending, or revoking permits

Conviction by a court of violation of the provisions of this Chapter is not a condition precedent to the refusal, suspension, or revocation of a permit under this Chapter for a violation of any of the provisions of this Chapter or of the commissioner's published rules. When there has been a previous criminal prosecution for the same or similar act upon which the refusal, suspension, or revocation of a permit is being considered, evidence of an acquittal in a court of competent jurisdiction is admissible in a proceeding before the commissioner. The commissioner shall withhold, suspend, or revoke permits for violations of this Chapter, regardless of any prosecution in the court or of the result of any such prosecution.
