Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 40, § 1484.22. Notice of violation of standard; cease and desist order

A. If after an inspection, investigation, or audit of any inflatable amusement device, amusement ride, or amusement attraction, the office of state fire marshal determines that the respective device, ride, or attraction is in violation of any standard promulgated pursuant to the provisions of this Part, and that there may be a substantial probability of death or physical injury to the public from its continued use, a notice of violation may be given to both the owner and operator of the device, ride, or attraction, and a red tag shall be attached to the device, ride, or attraction. The attached red tag constitutes a cease and desist order.

B. After the red tag is attached, the use of the inflatable amusement device, amusement ride, or amusement attraction is prohibited. The red tag shall not be removed until the device, ride, or attraction is made safe for public use, in accordance with R.S. 40:1484.5(B)(3), and the required safeguards are provided. The tag shall not be removed except by the state fire marshal or his designee.
