Proposed law provides that the prestige license plate shall be issued, upon application, to any
citizen of La. in the same manner as any other motor vehicle license plate.
Proposed law provides for the secretary to work in conjunction with the March of Dimes La.
Chapter to select the color and design of the plates.
Proposed law requires the department to collect an annual royalty fee of $25 for each plate issued
and specifies that such fees be collected by the department and forwarded to the March of Dimes
La. Chapter. Specifies that the monies received from the royalty fees shall be used solely for the
