Supporters Children's Research Hospital soon could have the chance to show their support on their automobiles. The House Monday unanimously approved HB805 by Rep.

Henry Burns, R-Haughton, and sent it to the Senate for consideration. The plates would be available after the Office of Motor Vehicles gets a new computer system, probably in October. State law requires that a minimum 1,000 be ordered before the plates are pressed by inmates. The bill says the plates are restricted to passenger cars, pickup trucks, recreational vehicles and vans. The proposed law requires the state to collect the standard registration license tax for each prestige plate plus an annual royalty fee of $25, plus $3.50 for handling for the Department of Public Service and Corrections to offset costs.

The $25 annual royalty fee is to be collected by the department and forwarded to the hospital in Memphis. The bill requires that the money received from the royalty fees be used solely to support programs of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital for children's health care. The bill says that the plate shall bear a design or logo that represents the commitment to children's Funeral Home, Rayville.

More obits, 2B Mask ban clears Senate By Mike Hasten BATON ROUGE Sex offenders can't wear masks or disguises or distribute candy or gifts to anyone under age 18 during any holidays when anyone would wear a costume, a bill approved Monday by the Senate says.

With a 27-0 vote, senators approved SB103 by Sen. Nick Gautreaux, D- Meaux, and sent it to the House for consideration. Gautreaux's bill originally applied only to Halloween but was amended in committee to add Christmas, Mardi Gras, Easter "or any other recognized holiday for which hoods, masks, or disguises are generally used." The bill 11 calls for a penalty of jail time from a minimum of six months to three years. The first six months is to be served without benefit of probation, parole, or suspension of sentence. Bill would expand LRA power Associated Press BATON ROUGE A House committee agreed that the Louisiana Recovery Authority's board should shrink, but its power should grow.

The House Appropriations Committee approved a bill by House Speaker Jim Tucker that would shrink the board of directors for the LRA from 33 members to 17 members. But more importantly, it would broaden the LRA's power from deciding recovery policy to also overseeing the implementation of those policies. The LRA would directly control the financing of recovery programs. Allen Driving School www.allendrivingschoolla.com Affordable Driver's Education State Certified!
