HB 1108 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Creates the "Homeschool Proud" specialty license plate

This bill creates a new specialty license plate called "Homeschool Proud" for vehicles in Louisiana. The plate can be issued to any Louisiana citizen who applies, provided at least 1,000 people request it. The design will feature the words "Homeschool Proud" at the bottom, a Homeschool Louisiana symbol on the left, and five alphanumeric digits in the center. Each plate costs an additional $25 annual fee that goes to Homeschool Louisiana, plus a $3.50 administrative fee kept by the state. The Department of Public Safety and Corrections will manage the plate program and update their systems to issue the plates.
