which may be issued, upon application, to any citizen of Louisiana who is a retired law officer.
Present law further provides that any person who was employed as a law officer for 12 years or more,
was not discharged for misconduct related to employment, and has not been convicted of any felony,
shall be eligible for a special motor vehicle license plate regardless of whether or not that person is
a member of, or is receiving retirement benefits from, a retirement system for law officers.
Proposed law retains present law and adds that any person who was employed as a law officer and
retired for medical reasons due to permanent injuries sustained in the line of duty regardless of the

officers.
