In the event of a state of emergency as delcared by the governor, this site
will contain information regarding permitted or prohibited telephonic
solicitation activity.
The Louisiana Homeland Security and Emergency Assistance and Disaster Act,
R. S. 29:721, et seq., confers upon the governor of the state of Louisiana
emergency powers to deal with emergencies and disasters, including those
caused by fire, flood, earthquake or other natural or man-made causes, in
order to ensure that preparations of this state will be adequate to deal
with such emergencies or disasters and to preserve the lives and property of
the people of the state of Louisiana.
During a state of emergency as declared by the governor, while the Office of
Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness requires the Louisiana Public
Service Commission to report to the Emergency Operations Center ("EOC"), no
telephonic solicitor shall engage in any form of telephonic solicitation,
however, the Louisiana Public Service Commission has not be required
to report to the Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness in
response to any executive order or proclamation issued as a result of any
recent event.
Therefore, the general provisions the LPSC Do
Not Call Program General Order, LPSC General Order R-29617, remain in effect
and no additional telephonic solicitation prohibitions are necessary at this
time. Should the Commission subsequently be required to report to the Office
of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, in response to a state of
emergency as delcared by the governor, all telephonic solicitation will be
prohibited and a revised notice will be posted at that time.
