Mental Health License Plate Proposed by Sen. McMath's Bill Passes Easily in Senate
SB 61, which would create the "Mental Health" special prestige license plate, has passed committee and been voted on by the full Senate with 38 votes for and none against. It has been referred to the Committee on Transportation, Highways and Public Works in the House.
The proposed law requires the secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections to issue the special prestige license plates, provided there is a minimum of 1,000 applicants for the plate. The proposed law provides the design of the plate shall include the words "Mental Health" and directs the department to collect an annual royalty fee and forward certain percentages to the NAMI Louisiana and the Louisiana Rural Mental Health Alliance.
