Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 47, § 490.32. Military honor license plates for “Purple Heart” disabled veterans

F. (1) Any applicant who qualifies for the military honor license plate authorized by this Section may be issued a plate for each vehicle registered in the applicant's name.

(2) Except as otherwise provided in this Subsection, each military honor license plate issued pursuant to this Section shall be returned to the secretary upon the death of the person to whom the plate was issued. A surviving spouse of a person to whom a license plate was issued pursuant to this Section may retain a license plate issued pursuant to this Section, provided the surviving spouse has not remarried and provided the surviving spouse applies to the secretary for a transfer of the license plate to the surviving spouse. A military honor license plate transferred pursuant to this Paragraph to a surviving spouse shall be returned to the secretary upon the death or remarriage of the surviving spouse. In the event that a “Purple Heart” disabled veteran holds more than one military honor license plate at the time the “Purple Heart” disabled veteran dies, the surviving spouse may determine which of the license plates the surviving spouse wishes to retain.

(3) The secretary shall also issue a hang tag as provided in R.S. 47:463.4(B)(1), which bears the international symbol of accessibility, to any disabled veteran who has or is issued a “Purple Heart” disabled veteran special prestige plate and who requests the hang tag. No fee shall be charged for the hang tag, and it shall be exempt from renewal requirements applicable to hang tags issued pursuant to R.S. 47:463.4. However, any lost, destroyed, or mutilated hang tags shall be replaced according to the provisions of R.S. 47:463.4(C), including payment of the reissuance fee. A person using the hang tag in a vehicle with a disabled veteran license plate is not required to obtain or possess a mobility impairment driver's license or identification card.
