The bill, HB 353, authorizes golf carts to cross specific Louisiana highways within the towns of Church Point and Lake Arthur under certain conditions. In Church Point, golf carts will be allowed to cross Louisiana Highways 95, 35, 1104, and 178 on marked paths between sunrise and sunset, provided that operators possess a valid driver's license, liability insurance, a signed liability waiver, and pay a $75 permit fee annually. The Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) is responsible for posting necessary signage and traffic control devices, with costs covered by the town. Additionally, the DOTD will create rules and regulations to implement these provisions and report to the Joint Legislative Committee on Transportation.

In Lake Arthur, golf carts will be permitted to cross Louisiana Highway 26 under similar conditions, requiring a valid driver's license for operation. The DOTD will also consult with the town's governing authority to determine the best locations for crossing signs. The bill exempts golf carts from certain vehicle regulations, including inspection requirements and definitions of vehicles under existing law. Overall, the bill aims to enhance mobility for golf cart users in these towns while ensuring safety through regulatory measures.
