§ La. R.S. 18:133(untitled)

Branch offices; mobile registration units; mandatory registration drives
A. All branch offices, whether temporary or permanent, shall be located in permanent buildings,
except mobile registration units. However, if a branch office of a registrar is destroyed, inaccessible, or
unsafe during or following a gubernatorially declared state of emergency, the registrar may utilize a
temporary building as a branch office until an office that meets the requirements of this Section becomes
available. Such branch office shall be located within the parish, or if there is no appropriate location within
the parish due to the emergency, then in an immediately adjacent parish, or if there is no appropriate location
in any immediately adjacent parish due to the emergency, then in the nearest parish in which there is an
appropriate location.
B. Any or all branch offices, whether permanent or temporary, and any or all mobile registration
units, in operation on December 31, 1977, may be continued in operation by the governing authority
heretofore responsible therefor, and those continued in operation shall continue to be funded by the state or
local authorities heretofore made responsible therefor.
