The Governor has signed SB 61 which creates the "Mental Health" special prestige license plate. The new 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.
