House Bill No. by Representative Boyer proposes amendments to R.S. 47:532.1(A)(7)(c) and (C) concerning public license tag agents in Louisiana. The bill aims to increase the maximum convenience fee that these agents can charge for providing information on the status of registration privileges and for processing reinstatements of driving and vehicle registration privileges. Specifically, the maximum convenience fee is raised from $23 to $27, both for providing information and for each reinstatement processed. The bill mandates that these charges be disclosed to consumers prior to the transaction and be prominently displayed in the agents' business offices.

Additionally, the bill allows public license tag agents to collect a convenience charge in conjunction with other fees, sales taxes, and transactions, with the maximum charge also set at $27 per authorized transaction. The agents are required to collect and retain the full amount of this convenience charge. Overall, the proposed changes aim to provide public license tag agents with the ability to charge higher fees for their services while ensuring transparency to consumers.
