House Bill No. 510 authorizes the town of Golden Meadow in Lafourche Parish to designate alternative pathways along state highways specifically for golf carts and low-speed vehicles. The bill enacts R.S. 32:297.1, which defines key terms such as "town," "governing authority," "golf cart," and "low-speed vehicle." It allows the governing authority to permit the operation of these vehicles on the shoulders of public roads with a speed limit of 30 miles per hour or less, with the exception of Louisiana Highway 3235. The authorization must be formalized through an ordinance and recorded in the governing authority's minutes.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that operators of golf carts and low-speed vehicles must possess a valid driver's license and proof of insurance. It requires that all such vehicles be registered with the governing authority, which will issue a registration decal to be displayed on the vehicle. The governing authority is also empowered to establish a registration fee for these vehicles, which will be retained by the municipal clerk and deposited into the municipal general fund.
