Louisiana's plumbing code is based on an IPC precursor but the 2013 version of the code can be found here: http://laphcc.org/documents/2013LouisianaStatePlumbingcode-Title51.pdf

Additionally, you can see a list of the changes that were made to the code in 2013 here: http://new.dhh.louisiana.gov/assets/oph/Center-EH/engineering/Louisiana_State_Plumbing_Code_2013.pdf

There are a couple of humorous images in the latter link.

Something to note is that Louisiana does NOT permit the use of Air Admittance Valves (AAVs).

In 2013 the allowable distance from trap to vent in a 2" drain was reduced from 8' to 6'.
