La. Rev. Stat. § 6:1141

A. The commissioner of financial institutions shall have the power to enact and promulgate rules and regulations as may be necessary or appropriate to implement the provisions of this Chapter. When making rules and regulations pursuant to this power, the commissioner shall consider among other matters the impact any such rule or regulation will have on a dual-banking system as well as the impact any such rule or regulation will have on the public interest in the business of banking. The commissioner may also consider the regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Federal Reserve Board, and the Federal Home Loan Bank Board to allow financial institutions organized under the laws of this state to offer services consistent with services offered by financial institutions organized under the laws of the United States.

B. All regulations enacted and promulgated under this Section shall be subject to the provisions of R.S. 49:951, 953, 956, and 961, and prior to the promulgation of any such rule or regulation, the commissioner shall give each financial institution organized under this Chapter affected by the rule or regulation written notification of the content of such rule and regulation and the date and time of any public hearing held pursuant to those statutes. The commissioner shall provide notice at least ten days prior to the adoption of such rule or regulation, but the failure of a particular financial institution to receive notice thereof shall not affect the validity of such rule or regulation.
