This bill enacts a new special prestige motor vehicle license plate titled "Classic Black We Will Never Forget: Caroline and Maggie." The Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections is tasked with establishing this 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 feature a white alphanumeric series on a black background, with "LOUISIANA" centered at the top, and it will be issued in the same manner as other motor vehicle license plates.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that an annual royalty fee of twenty-five dollars will be collected for the plate, alongside a handling fee of three dollars and fifty cents. The collected fees will be forwarded to the Donald J. Thibodeaux Training Center in Zachary, Louisiana, to support emergency vehicle operations training for local governments. The secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections is also authorized to promulgate necessary rules and regulations for the implementation of this new license plate.
