Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 33, § 1245. Industrial and personnel surveys, authority to make; costs; information under oath; penalties for false information; limitations on authority conferred

A. The parish police juries, with the assistance of the sheriffs, shall have authority to make industrial and personnel surveys within their parishes, and to defray the cost thereof, to secure from individuals all information which they may deem necessary pertaining to their qualifications and availability of personnel and qualified persons to meet industrial demands for job opportunities in the parish.

B. The police juries may require all such information to be given under oath and any person giving false information under oath shall be guilty of false swearing and upon conviction therefor by a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be punished by fine or imprisonment, in the discretion of the court.

C. Nothing contained herein shall give authority to parish juries to extend an industrial survey to include any bona fide legitimate labor organization or members thereof or to interfere in any way with labor organizations or their members in the conduction of their legitimate union business; nor shall it mean that police juries shall have the right or authority to serve as labor consultants, labor advisors or as an agency to refer or recommend persons for employment.
