It was pulled by the author atleast a month ago.

His reasoning was because of how much it would take from state police, if I remember correctly

It’s been amended to raise inspection sticker fees by $8, include additional emissions checks, and add a seatbelt and child seat inspection fee as well. /s

You should know the government never removes fees - politicians only talk about proposed bills - to get you fired up - but they never see the light of day.

DOA. LSP need the funds. Going to pay the family of Ronald Greene bigly before it's over. Beat the man to death and tried to cover it up.

This will never get repealed. Lawmakers like to grand stand about red meat issues that have little impact on our lives. ANYTHING that has to do with giving up money or controlling behavior (taxes/incentives) is firmly ensconced. And we keep electing them.

Exactly. It's about pornography, abortion, repealing access to public records, cell phones in cars, etc. Meanwhile we pay the highest sales taxes in the nation, have shite for auto and home insurance, substandard roads and lack of bridges and infastructure, etc.

True.

But Louisianans don't really want freedom. Look at the sky screamers bitching about constitutional carry in your state.

I have a "longer than 8" crack" in my windshield 1" above the bottom of the windshield. It's literally only obscuring my view of the hood. I can't get an inspection sticker because of that.

I'm not going to replace my windshield to satisfy some ridiculous requirement just so I can get a safety inspection sticker. I'll take the ticket...

Bill 344, which today passed committee at the capitol.
. Voice of reason
quote:

Representative Larry Bagley (R) of Stonewall believes they’re a waste of time and money. “I just think this is an unnecessary task that we perform, and you know the ten dollars isn’t a big deal, the fact that I have to have it and if I forget it then the fine is much bigger than that having to be stopped and checked by the police and check all that out to see and I’m okay and they let me go, I just don’t see any need for that,” he said.
and then you have the democrats
quote:

Meanwhile, others like Rep. Travis Johnson (D) of Vidalia oppose the bill and support the use of the stickers, noting safety and accountability for drivers. ”If that tire pops or that belt pops and you just lose control, then you put others at risk,” Johnson said. “I think it is a very, very dangerous thing unless you can tell me otherwise, I don’t see this being a good thing for the state of Louisiana.”
quote:

Despite opposition, the measure passed committee in a close vote, six to five on Monday. The bill now moves to the House.

Yea that definitely stalled as it does every year.

And this bill wouldn't have done anything for the yearly stickers required in EBR, WBR, Ascension, Iberville, etc. since those are required based on EPA/DEQ/Clean Air Act regs.

I don't think it has anything to do with him being a D. Rep. Travis Johnson (D) of Vidalia. The cops in his town don't want to get rid of the extra revenue from tacking on inspection sticker fines to the speeding tickets that pay the town's general fund.
