A. Before appointing an interpreter/transliterator, the appointing authority shall make a preliminary determination based on the needs of the person who is deaf or hard of hearing and upon the recommendation of the Louisiana Commission for the Deaf. If the interpreter/transliterator is not able to facilitate effective communication with the person who is deaf or hard of hearing, the appointing authority shall provide another qualified interpreter/transliterator. B. Upon request of the person for whom the interpreter/transliterator is appointed, or on the appointing authority's own motion, an interpreter/transliterator may be removed for the inability to communicate with the person who is deaf or hard of hearing, or if, for reasonable cause, another interpreter/transliterator is so desired by the person who is deaf or hard of hearing for whom the interpreter/transliterator is serving.
