Proposed law requires the secretary of Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections to issue special

provided there is a minimum of 1,000 applicants.
Proposed law provides the license plate shall be issued, upon application, to any citizen of
Louisiana in the same manner as any other motor vehicle license plate.
Proposed law requires the department to collect an annual royalty fee of $25, as well as a
handling fee of $3.50 for each plate to be retained by the department to offset a portion of
administrative costs.
Proposed law provides that monies collected by the department and forwarded to the Wildlife
