House Bill No. [insert bill number] proposes the creation of the Louisiana New and Used Motor Vehicle Commission by enacting Chapter 6-B of Title 32 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes. This new commission will merge the existing Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission and the Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission, consolidating their powers, duties, and functions. The bill outlines the commission's responsibilities, which include licensing and regulating various motor vehicle-related occupations, inspecting license applicants, maintaining records, conducting hearings, and managing certificates of title. Additionally, the commission will have the authority to create fees, establish a task force for technology maintenance, and adopt necessary rules and regulations.

The bill also mandates the Louisiana State Law Institute to make technical changes to existing laws to reflect this merger and requires both the Louisiana Used Motor Vehicle Commission and the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Commission to take necessary actions to implement the new provisions before the effective date. The Louisiana New and Used Motor Vehicle Commission will assume all pending or unfinished business from the previous commissions, ensuring a seamless transition and continuity in operations.
