MTR VEHICLE/OFFICE: Provides relative to reinstatement fees for certain motor vehicle violations (EG +$120,900 SG RV See Note)
HB 733 increases reinstatement fees for Louisiana drivers whose licenses were suspended due to DUI convictions. It sets tiered fees: $150 for one prior conviction, $250 for two, and $350 for each additional conviction beyond the second. The bill also requires the Office of Motor Vehicles to annually adjust these fees starting July 1, 2028, based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U) increase from the previous year. This directly affects individuals seeking to reinstate driving privileges after DUI-related license suspensions.
