Waiver request submitted by Paul Fuselier, former member of the State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners, regarding a $1500 late fee assessed for filing his 2018 Tier 2.1 annual pfd 404 days late. |
|
Mr. Paul G. Fuselier stated he submitted a resignation letter in the Fall of 2018. He stated he was never told that he needed to file an annual disclosure with the BOE. Once he was made aware of the filing requirements, he always complied with the agency's request. Failing to comply with the BOE was not intentional.
STAFF NOTES: Mr. Fuselier is confusing his appointment in 2018, with his term expiration in 2020. During a phone conversation with the point of contact for the Louisiana State Board of Practical Nurse Examiners, Ms. Jeanette Patterson stated that Mr. Fuselier now suffers from memory loss which is the reason he had to resign. Ms. Patterson requested the board, Executive Director, Lynn Ansardi, to write a letter on Mr. Fueslier's behalf.
