A. A bank, savings and loan association, trust company, or credit union may provide to any other such financial institution a written employment reference which may include information reported to federal banking regulators pursuant to federal law and regulations involving a theft, embezzlement, misappropriation, or other defalcation. Where the written employment reference contains such information and where a copy of the written employment reference is sent to the employee in question at the last known address of such employee, a bank, savings and loan association, trust company, or credit union shall not be liable for providing such an employment reference unless the information provided is false and the financial institution providing the false information does so with knowledge and malice.
B. The provisions in Subsection A of this Section are supplemental to and shall not preclude or limit a bank, savings and loan association, trust company, or credit union from being governed by the provisions of R.S. 23:291.
