This bill enacts R.S. 32:297.1, which establishes regulations for the operation of golf carts and low-speed vehicles in the town of Golden Meadow, Louisiana. It allows these vehicles to be operated exclusively on the shoulders of public roads and streets with a speed limit of thirty miles per hour or less, excluding Louisiana Highway 3235. The governing authority, which is the town council, is granted the discretion to authorize this operation through an ordinance, which can include specific conditions and can be revoked at any time. Operators must be properly licensed and carry proof of insurance.

Additionally, the bill mandates that all golf carts and low-speed vehicles must be registered with the governing authority, which will issue a registration decal to be displayed on the vehicle. The governing authority may also establish a registration fee, which will be collected and deposited into the municipal general fund. The registration remains valid as long as the owner retains ownership of the vehicle. This legislation aims to provide a legal framework for the safe use of these vehicles while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
