§473.2. Special handicapped license plates for dealers and owners of commercial vehicles
A. In addition to the provisions of this Chapter authorizing the issuance of dealers' license plates and commercial license plates, the secretary of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections shall issue special handicapped license plates for a dealer, as defined by R.S. 47:451(8), and an owner of commercial vehicles as defined in R.S. 47:451(4). The special handicapped license plates shall be issued in lieu of dealer and commercial plates and in addition to any handicapped license plate issued for a vehicle under R.S. 47:463.4.
B. The secretary shall establish and promulgate rules and regulations for the issuance of handicapped license plates. Any vehicle bearing special handicapped license plates shall only be operated by or for the benefit of a person with a mobility impairment as defined in R.S. 47:463.4(E).
C. Each dealer or owner of a commercial vehicle shall make a new application and pay the fee for the special handicapped license plates each time he desires to have such handicapped plates issued to him. Once the dealer or owner of a commercial vehicle obtains special handicapped license plates, he shall be given priority on these plates for subsequent years that he makes timely and appropriate application.
D. Any such dealer plates so issued may, during the registration period for which issued, be transferred from one vehicle to another for the use and benefit of a person with a mobility impairment.
