MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Establishes special prestige license plates for certain Louisiana schools
This bill authorizes the Louisiana Secretary of State to create special license plates for a specific list of high schools, including Archbishop Hannan, Jesuit, and Mount Carmel Academy, among others. It also mandates unique designs for Baker High School and East Feliciana High School plates, featuring the schools' names and mascots, the Buffaloes and Tigers respectively. The legislation requires that these specialty plates follow existing rules regarding issuance, fees, and design standards while allowing the schools involved to help choose the final colors and artwork.
