Terry Landry HB No. 323
Abstract: Creates the "Down Syndrome Awareness" special prestige license plate.
Proposed law provides for the design and creation of the "Down Syndrome Awareness" special
prestige plate provided there is a minimum of 1,000 applicants.
Proposed law provides that the 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 authorizes the collection of a $30 royalty fee, as well as a handling fee of $3.50, for
each plate to be retained by the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections to offset a portion of
administrative costs.
Proposed law requires that monies collected by the department be forwarded to the Down
Syndrome Association of Acadiana, or its successor organization, to be used solely to promote
the interests of persons with Down syndrome and their families through advocacy and public
awareness throughout the state.
