House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the creation of a "Homeschool Proud" specialty license plate in Louisiana, as outlined in the newly enacted R.S. 47:463.243. The bill mandates that the Department of Public Safety and Corrections (DPS&C) establish this special prestige license plate, which will be available to any Louisiana citizen upon application, provided there are at least 1,000 applicants. The plates will be designated for use on passenger cars, pickup trucks, recreational vehicles, and vans. The design of the plate will be developed in collaboration with an artist selected by Homeschool Louisiana, featuring the words "Homeschool Proud" and a symbol representing the organization.
Additionally, the bill stipulates that an annual royalty fee of $25 will be collected for the plate, alongside a handling fee of $3.50 to cover administrative costs. The collected fees will be forwarded to Homeschool Louisiana, with the funds designated solely for the organization's activities. The DPS&C is also tasked with updating its electronic vehicle and registration system to accommodate the new plates and is required to adopt necessary rules and regulations for the implementation of this law.
