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 between sunrise and sunset, provided that operators possess a valid driver's license, liability insurance, a signed 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.

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 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 inspection and safety requirements, clarifying that they are not classified as vehicles under existing law. The amendments made in the conference committee report include the addition of sections 127.5 and 127.6 to the law, detailing the provisions for both towns.
