Senate Bill No. 114, introduced by Senator Hodges, proposes the establishment of a special prestige license plate for the "Foundation for Moral Law." The bill enacts R.S. 47:463.243, which outlines the creation, issuance, design, fees, distribution, and rule promulgation related to this new license plate. The Secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections is tasked with establishing the plate, which will be available for passenger cars, pickup trucks, recreational vehicles, motorcycles, and vans, provided there are at least one thousand applicants. The design of the plate will include the words "Foundation for Moral Law," and it will be issued in the same manner as other motor vehicle license plates once the necessary statutory provisions are met and the department's registration system is updated.
The bill stipulates that the fee for the special license plate will be the same as the regular motor vehicle registration fee as outlined in R.S. 47:463. Additionally, the Secretary is authorized to promulgate and adopt any necessary rules and regulations to implement the provisions of this section. The proposed law is set to take effect on August 1, 2026.
