The bill amends and reenacts the section heading of R.S. 47:463.191 and establishes a new section, R.S. 47:463.243, concerning special prestige license plates in Louisiana. It modifies the existing "member of congress" special prestige license plate to include issuance to members of the Louisiana Supreme Court and official vehicles used by duly commissioned officers. Additionally, the bill introduces a new special prestige license plate known as the "Master Combat Infantryman" plate, which is available to individuals who have been awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge along with one of several expert badges.

The design of the "Master Combat Infantryman" plate will feature the likeness of the United States Army Master Combat Infantryman Badge and will be available for passenger cars, pickup trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, and vans. The bill outlines the fees associated with the license plate and mandates the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to create the plate once statutory provisions are met. Furthermore, it includes provisions for the return of the license plate upon the death of the recipient, with allowances for surviving spouses to retain the plate under certain conditions.
