Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 49, § 901. Statement of policy

Because of the growing number of occupations, professions and trades which are regulated by various agencies, boards and commissions of the state of Louisiana, and because said agencies, boards and commissions use the police power of the state in their regulatory, licensing and fee-collecting activities, and because there is at present no central depository of information with respect to the activities of said agencies, it is hereby declared to be the policy of the State of Louisiana that the governor be authorized to require the various agencies, boards and commissions engaged in regulatory and licensing activities to submit information and reports in such manner as he may direct with respect to the activities and financial condition of said agencies.
