Gary Smith (SB 217) Act No. 28

Interstate 10 and La. Highway 74 and within 300 yards or less of any building used as a
public or private elementary or secondary school, except for carriers making local deliveries
on this portion of La. Highway 73.
New law retains prior law and also prohibits the transport of hazardous materials on that

imprisoned for not more than 90 days, or both. Provided that on a second or subsequent
violation the offender shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $500, or imprisoned for
not less than 10 days nor more than six months, or both. New law retains prior law.
Effective August 1, 2013.
