This bill amends existing Louisiana law regarding the registration of commercial vehicles, specifically targeting trucks weighing between ten thousand and sixteen thousand pounds. It modifies R.S. 47:462(B)(6) to change the gross weight rating for registration fees from ten thousand pounds to sixteen thousand pounds, and establishes that the registration or license tax for these trucks shall be paid annually from the date of issuance. Additionally, it allows motorcycles to be registered every four years under a staggered system.

Furthermore, the bill amends R.S. 47:508(A)(3) to reflect the new weight threshold, stating that registrations for trucks over sixteen thousand pounds will continue to expire annually. It also enacts R.S. 47:508(A)(4), which specifies that registrations for trucks weighing between ten thousand and sixteen thousand pounds will also expire annually from the date of issuance. This change aims to streamline the registration process for these vehicles and clarify the requirements for their registration renewals.
