The bill, HB 353, authorizes golf carts to cross specific Louisiana highways within the towns of Church Point and Lake Arthur. In Church Point, golf carts will be allowed to cross Louisiana Highways 95, 35, 1104, and 178 on designated paths or crossings 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 tasked with posting necessary signage and traffic control devices, with costs covered by the town. Additionally, the DOTD will establish rules and regulations for implementation and report to the Joint Legislative Committee on Transportation, Highways, and Public Works.

In Lake Arthur, the bill similarly permits golf carts to cross Louisiana Highway 26 under the same time restrictions and requires a valid driver's license for operators. The DOTD will also be responsible for placing crossing signs at the request of the town's governing authority and will work with them to determine optimal locations for these signs. The bill exempts golf carts from certain vehicle regulations, including inspection requirements and definitions of "equipment" under existing law, thereby facilitating their use on the specified highways.
