Louisiana lawmaker again trying to do away with vehicle inspection stickers (brake tags)

Good. Let's get behind this bill.
WAFB
A northwest Louisiana lawmaker again is trying to get rid of the state’s vehicle inspection stickers.
State Rep. Larry Bagley said his first proposal was eight years ago. He believes it did not pass because the governor at the time was not in favor of it. But with a newly elected Republican governor, Bagley has written a new proposal in hopes of getting rid of the stickers.
“What better way to show the people that he (Gov. Jeff Landry) wants to tighten things down and give them some of their money back and take one of these small taxes off everybody?” he said.
Bagley said that state inspection stickers are an unnecessary nuisance.

As someone with an inspection sticker that expired January 2024, I can get behind this. The idea of going to waste a lunch break has been consistently getting pushed back

Any road in the state will show that the money is not being utilized where it's been intended and therefore should be considered an illegal tax

As someone with a brake tag that expired in 2021 I can also get behind this

I assumed brake tags in LA were just like emission certificates, is that not the case?

Nope they only test emissions in Nola and Baton Rouge that I’m aware of. It was always blinkers, wipers, brake lights , high beam, low beam and horn
ETA: MS resident now and they don’t have them. They do hit me with a damn ad Valorem tax yearly for registration that’s quite steep.

Ah, so they genuinely check to see if those functions work and you have to pay someone to verify that annually?
I've seen a million threads about brake tags over the years I just never stopped to think about what it actually entailed.

Relevant last paragraph of the article. Just more evidence that inspection stickers have never been about public safety.

Revenue from state inspection stickers typically goes to Louisiana State Police. But with a new tax on vaping products, LSP is now in favor of the removal of inspection stickers.

Checking in. Mine expired in 2019.

How can any republican support an unneccesary regulation taht results in a created fee/tax? And don't tell me the mom and pops won't survive, if they rely on fees forced by our government to survive, then that's their problem.

Mine expires at the end of the month but I can't get it renewed because I don't have the new registration. Checked the OMV to renew, but they say it's current. Now I am having to call and wait in a queue when I have the time.

I had my windshield replaced two months ago, and I haven't gotten a new brake tag yet.

This sounds great and all, but Ascension, East Baton Rouge, Iberville, Livingston and West Baton Rouge parishes will all still have to have inspections. It will just be the emissions part.
It’s a requirement of the Clean Air Act of 1970.
