MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Creates the "Jefferson Parish Bicentennial" specialty license plate
This bill creates a specialty license plate for vehicles in Jefferson Parish to commemorate the area's bicentennial. The plate will be available to any vehicle owner in the parish who wishes to display it on their car. The legislation authorizes the state's governing authority to design and issue these plates, while removing a specific reference to the government in the text. This change is administrative and does not alter existing laws regarding vehicle registration or traffic.
