HB 428 Louisiana House · 2026 Regular Session

MTR VEHICLE/LICEN PLATES: Creates the "2023 and 2025 LSU Fighting Tigers College World Series Champions" specialty license plate

HB 428 creates a specialty license plate titled "Louisiana State University Baseball National Champions 2025" for Louisiana vehicle owners. It requires a minimum of 1,000 applicants before issuance, with a $25 annual fee per plate. The fee structure allocates $24 to LSU for academic or financial need-based scholarships (after deducting $1 for administrative costs), while applicants consent to share their name, address, and birth date with LSU via the application process. This procedural bill, pending enactment, directly affects Louisiana residents who apply for the plate and benefits LSU's scholarship programs.
