Which of the following options does NOT constitute good cause for license action by LSBPIE?

Conviction of a felony
Deceit in obtaining a license
Failure to file taxes
Entries of guilty pleas

The correct answer is: Failure to file taxes

Failure to file taxes does not constitute good cause for license action by the Louisiana State Board of Private Investigator Examiners (LSBPIE) compared to the other options listed. Good cause for license action typically includes behaviors that directly imply dishonesty, misconduct, or legal transgressions that impact the professional integrity required of a private investigator. Conviction of a felony, deceit in obtaining a license, and entries of guilty pleas all relate to criminal activity or misconduct that can substantially undermine a private investigator's qualifications and ethical standing. These actions raise valid concerns about a licensee’s fitness to practice and their reliability in conducting investigations. On the other hand, failure to file taxes, while legally significant and potentially punishable by other state or federal authorities, may not necessarily reflect on the individual's professional qualifications or ethical behavior in the realm of private investigation. As such, it does not meet the criteria set by the LSBPIE for actions that warrant license revocation or other disciplinary measures.
