House Bill No. [insert number] proposes the establishment of a special prestige motor vehicle license plate known as the "Louisiana Dental Hygienists' Association" plate. This plate will be available to any citizen of Louisiana, contingent upon a minimum of one thousand applicants. The design of the plate will feature a white and light purple color scheme, the words "Registered Dental Hygienist," and a symbol representing the Louisiana Dental Hygienists' Association. The plate will also include the letters "RDH" and four alpha-numeric digits for registration purposes. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections is tasked with creating this plate once the necessary statutory provisions are met.
Additionally, the bill outlines the financial aspects associated with the license plate. An annual royalty fee of twenty-five dollars will be collected, which will be forwarded to the Louisiana Dental Hygienists' Association for their activities. This fee is in addition to the standard motor vehicle license tax and a handling fee of three dollars and fifty cents retained by the department to cover administrative costs. The secretary of the department is also authorized to adopt any necessary rules and regulations to implement these provisions.
