House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the establishment of a special prestige motor vehicle license plate known as the "Krewe of Athena." The bill mandates that the Department of Public Safety and Corrections create this license plate, contingent upon receiving a minimum of 1,000 applications. The design of the plate will be developed in collaboration with the Krewe of Athena Carnival Club, ensuring it includes the words "Krewe of Athena" and complies with existing regulations. The license plates will be available to any Louisiana citizen in the same manner as other motor vehicle license plates.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that an annual royalty fee of $25 will be collected for the issuance of the Krewe of Athena license plate, alongside a handling fee of $3.50 to cover administrative costs. The collected fees will be forwarded to the treasurer of the Krewe of Athena Carnival Club, Inc., with the funds designated for providing scholarships for debutantes. The bill also empowers the secretary to promulgate necessary rules and regulations for the implementation of these provisions.
