This bill amends and reenacts several sections of Louisiana's Revised Statutes related to temporary registration plates and dealer inventory plates. Key changes include the introduction of new provisions that allow licensed motor vehicle dealers to issue temporary registration plates designed by the commissioner, with a specified application fee of twenty dollars per plate. The bill also establishes security features for these plates to prevent counterfeiting, including machine-readable identifiers and anti-counterfeiting visual security features. Additionally, it allows for the use of temporary registration plates as courtesy loaner vehicles for customers whose vehicles are undergoing service.

The bill further modifies the duration of identification plates from five days to ten consecutive calendar days and clarifies that these plates can be affixed to the rear window of the vehicle instead of the rear bumper. It mandates that the commissioner consult with licensed motor vehicle dealers before implementing the print-on-demand system for temporary registration plates and outlines the conditions under which the new provisions will take effect, specifically contingent upon public notice of the electronic issuance system's establishment.
