House Bill No. by Representative Bagley amends existing laws regarding special prestige license plates for current and retired legislators in Louisiana. The bill replaces the previous one-time fee of twenty-five dollars for these plates with an annual royalty fee of twenty-five dollars, which will be collected by the department and forwarded to the division of administration. This fee is in addition to the standard motor vehicle license tax and includes a handling fee of three dollars and fifty cents to help cover administrative costs. The funds collected from these royalty fees will be allocated specifically for the restoration efforts of the Pentagon Barracks.

Additionally, the bill enacts new provisions that require the secretary to establish rules and regulations for the implementation of these changes, including guidelines for the transfer and disposition of the license plates upon the death of the recipient and the design of the plates. The amendments aim to streamline the process and ensure that the funds generated from the license plates are used effectively for their intended purpose.
