B. (1) The online certification shall require the applicant to certify that all of the information and documentation the applicant submits via the online application through an Internet interface shall be true and correct, and that the applicant has not used a false or fictitious name in such application, and that the applicant has not knowingly made a false statement or has not knowingly concealed any material fact or otherwise committed any fraud in any such application for a license or permit.

(2) Use by a governmental agency of any online certification provisions included in a nationwide online licensing or registration system shall be permissible and deemed in compliance with Paragraph (1) of this Subsection.

C. A governmental agency that elects to accept online applications through an Internet interface, and thus accepting an online certification in lieu of a sworn application, shall promulgate such rules and regulations in accordance with R.S. 9:2619 and the Administrative Procedure Act as are necessary to implement such online certification.

D. The acceptance of an online application with the certification authorized by this Section, in lieu of the sworn application otherwise required by law, shall not result in, or create any liability on the part of the state or the governmental agency.
