SB 114 Louisiana Senate · 2026 Regular Session

MOTOR VEHICLES: Provides for a prestige license plate for the Foundation for Moral Law. (8/1/26)

SB 114 would create a special "Foundation for Moral Law" prestige license plate for Louisiana motor vehicles, requiring at least 1,000 applicants to activate. It allows the plate on passenger cars, trucks, RVs, motorcycles, and vans, with design mandated to include the foundation's name and costing the standard registration fee. The Department of Public Safety would manage design, issuance, and rules under this provision. This is a procedural bill creating a new plate option, not a substantive policy change affecting broader legislation or funding.

MODERATE

The bill was converted from a draft proposal to an enrolled act, making it official law. The primary substantive change is the addition of a new subsection (C) specifying that the fee for this license plate is the standard registration fee, and a new subsection (D) requiring the secretary to create necessary rules to implement the program. The digest and original header were removed, while the text was renumbered to accommodate these additions.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on establishing a special license plate for the Foundation for Moral Law, but it now includes explicit instructions for fee setting and rule-making to ensure the program can be launched.

REQUIREMENT

Added a new requirement for the Secretary of Public Safety to promulgate and adopt specific rules and regulations to implement the license plate program.

FISCAL

Added a new provision clarifying that the charge for the special license plate is the regular motor vehicle registration fee.

TECHNICAL

The bill was renumbered and reorganized to insert the new fee and rule-making clauses, shifting the original content to later sections.

Removed the original header identifying the document as a Senate Legislative Services draft and the accompanying summary digest.
