House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the enactment of R.S. 32:1306.2, which establishes an annual motor vehicle inspection tax of $10 on all motor vehicles that are not required to obtain a certificate of inspection. The tax will be collected by the commissioner of motor vehicles every two years, coinciding with the registration license tax collection process, and the funds will be remitted to the state treasurer. After fulfilling obligations related to the Bond Security and Redemption Fund, the legislature will appropriate the tax proceeds to the Department of Public Safety and Corrections.

The distribution of the tax proceeds is specified in the bill, with $1.25 allocated to the office of motor vehicles and the remaining $8.75 directed to the office of state police. Of this amount, $4 will be used for the training of state police officers, while $4.75 will be allocated for traffic enforcement. Additionally, the commissioner of motor vehicles is tasked with creating rules and regulations to implement the tax collection and remittance process in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act.
