DIGEST
Gary Smith (SB 327)
Proposed law requires the secretary of the Dept. of Public Safety and Corrections to issue special
prestige license plates to be known as the Multiple Sclerosis license plate.
Proposed law provides that the prestige 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 provides for the secretary to work in conjunction with the National Multiple
Sclerosis Society to select the color and design of the plate.
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 National
Multiple Sclerosis Society. Specifies that the monies received from the royalty fees shall be used
solely for the support of programs and research administered by the National Multiple Sclerosis
Society. Further provides for the standard registration license fee and a handling fee of $3.50 to
be retained by the department to offset a portion of administrative cost.
Proposed law requires the secretary to adopt rules and regulations to implement the provisions
provided in proposed law.
Effective August 1, 2014.
