De fi nitions Key terms are used to establish speci fi c genetic discrimination and privacy protections. They are as follows: 1. “ Genetic monitoring” is the periodic examination of employees to evaluate change s to their genetic material that may have developed in the course of employment due to exposure to toxic substances in the workplace. 2. “ Genetic services” are de fi ned as the health services provided to obtain, assess, or interpret genetic information for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, or for genetic education or counseling. 3. “ Genetic test” means the analysis of human DNA, RNA, chromosomes, and those proteins and metabolites used to detect heritable or some somatic disease- related genotypes or karyotypes for clinical purposes. It must be generally accepted in the scienti fi c and medical communities to qualify under this de fi nition. 4. “Protected genetic information” is information about the genetic tests of an individual or that of an individual’s family members, or the occurrence of a disease, or medical condition or disorder in fami ly members of the individual. Nondiscrimination Louisiana law also provides that an employer, labor organization or employment ag ency shall not discriminate on the basis of protected genetic information, and an employer, labor organization or joint labor management committee controlling apprenticeship, on-the-job training or other training pr ogram shall not discriminate on the basis of protected genetic information. E xceptions An employer, labor organization or employment agency may request protected genetic information with an offer of employment. They may request, collect or purchase protected genetic information if there is a request for, or receipt of, genetic services and the effect of genetic monitoring of toxic substance shall be permitted in the workplace.
