LA HB414

Prohibits healthcare providers from hiring unlicensed healthcare workers and licensed ambulance personnel convicted of specified criminal offenses, as revealed by criminal history checks

Extends hiring prohibitions to include convictions for equivalent federal offenses or offenses committed in other states that satisfy the elements of Louisiana's listed crimes

Adds four offenses to the disqualifying list: aggravated kidnapping of a child (R.S. 14:44.2), felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile (R.S. 14:80), molestation of a juvenile or person with disability (R.S. 14:81.2), and cruelty to juveniles (R.S. 14:93)

Requires employers to immediately terminate any employee whose criminal history check reveals conviction of a disqualifying offense, including those hired on a temporary basis

Repeals R.S. 40:1203.3(B), consolidating separate hiring prohibition provisions that previously distinguished between general healthcare settings and those serving persons under age 21
