Creates a prestige license plate for the Louisiana Youth Leadership Seminar Corporation. (8/1/14)

Impact

The bill outlines a fee of twenty-five dollars per year for the prestige plate, along with a handling fee retained by the department to cover administrative costs. This annual fee will be forwarded to the LYLSC and is earmarked exclusively for funding leadership training programs. Consequently, SB639 not only provides an avenue for citizens to express support for youth leadership initiatives through vehicle registration but also ensures dedicated financial resources for educational purposes.

Summary

Senate Bill 639 establishes a special prestige motor vehicle license plate in Louisiana, specifically for The Louisiana Youth Leadership Seminar Corporation (LYLSC). The legislation stipulates that the Department of Public Safety and Corrections will facilitate the creation and issuance of these plates, provided there are at least one thousand applicants. This bill is designed to help raise funds for leadership training programs aimed at high school sophomores, enhancing their development and empowerment through structured seminars.

Sentiment

Overall, the sentiment surrounding SB 639 appears to be positive, as it supports youth empowerment and fosters community involvement. The proposal received unanimous approval during voting, with 90 votes in favor and none against it, which indicates broad legislative support and recognition of the bill's positive impact on local youth development endeavors.

Contention

While the bill addresses an important educational initiative, there might be some contention surrounding the feasibility of the registration goal of one thousand applicants. Concerns could arise over sustaining the interest needed to reach this threshold. Nonetheless, no significant opposition was noted during the discussions or voting process, suggesting that the bill's focus on youth leadership is largely well-received.
