RS 441 - Declaration of purpose
This Part is enacted in recognition of the importance of constructive leisure pursuits by Louisiana citizens, for the purpose of encouraging responsible participation in the hobby of collecting, preserving, restoring, operating and maintaining motor vehicles of historic or special interest. Further, the legislature of Louisiana, recognizing that the current pattern of resource recycling leads to an ever shortening period of existence for vehicles of historic or special interest, enacts this Part to ensure the preservation of our American heritage as it relates to the motor vehicle manufacturing industry. The legislature further recognizes that a vehicle representative of this heritage, being held by a hobbyist, finds significance as a motor vehicle of historic or special interest through a personal relevance to the life of the collector holding it and, or, through a general relevance as an example-artifact of the transportation history of Louisiana.
