Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:65
- Commission: means the Louisiana Workforce Commission. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1
- Community action agency: means a public agency or private nonprofit corporation having authority under its charter or bylaws, or both, to administer community action programs, which has been designated as a community action agency by the parish governing authority. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:62
- Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
- Secretary: means the secretary of the commission. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1
