HB 350 Engrossed 2021 Regular Session Farnum
Abstract: Authorizes the parish of Calcasieu to levy fees not to exceed $6 as operation costs for
their local office of motor vehicles field office.
Present law authorizes the governing authority of any local governmental subdivision to levy, by
resolution, a fee for each service or transaction carried out as an operation of an office of motor
vehicles field office not fully funded by the state. Except as provided in present law, prohibits
exceeding a $4.50 fee per service or transaction and requires the fee be used solely to defray
operation costs for the local field office, including but not limited to facility rental, utilities, and
maintenance.
Present law authorizes the fee provided in present law be levied in an amount not to exceed $6 by
the local governing authority of the parishes of Orleans and Jefferson.
Proposed law retains present law and includes Calcasieu Parish as a local governing authority
authorized to levy a fee not to exceed $6 to defray operation costs for the local office of motor
vehicles field office.
