MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Creates the "Louisiana Dental Hygienists' Association" special prestige license plate
This bill removes the designation for the "Louisiana Dental Hygienists' Association" from the state's list of eligible organizations for special prestige license plates. By deleting the association's name from the relevant text, the legislation effectively cancels the creation of a specific license plate dedicated to dental hygienists. The change impacts vehicle owners who might have sought this plate and the association that was intended to receive it. Ultimately, the bill prevents the issuance of a custom plate for this group while leaving the general process for other special plates unchanged.

MODERATE

The eligibility criteria were also updated to remove motorcycles from the list of allowed vehicle types.
