BOX 94005 BATON ROUGE 70804-9005 Jeff Landry Attorney General January 10, 2019 OPINION 18-0016 Mr. Wince Highshaw, Jr. 54 INSURANCE Marshal 70 MOTOR VEHICLES - Control & Regulation Monroe City Marshal's Office La. R.S. 32858, etseq P.O. Box 777 The Monroe City Marshars Office is not subject to the Monroe, Louisiana 71210-0777 requirements of the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibilty Law. Dear Marshal Highshaw: You requested an opinion from this Office concerning whether the Monroe City Marshal's Office is subject to the requirements of the Louisiana Motor Vehicle Safety Responsibility Law (LMVSRL), La. R.S. 32:858, et seq. Additionally, you have requested legal advice on the steps necessary to become self-insured. Our office cannot act as your attorney or legal advisor, and therefore, we cannot offer an opinion as to whether the Marshal's office should become self-insured or the potential legal ramifications of becoming self-insured. However, we are of the opinion that the Marshal's Office is not subject to the provisions of LMVSRL. As identified in your request, La. R.S. 32:1041(A) specifically provides that the LMVSRL does not apply to any motor vehicle owned by, inter aia, the State of Louisiana, any political subdivision of the state, or any municipality therein. Accordingly, it is the opinion of this office that the LMVSRL is not applicable to vehicles owned by the Marshal's Office in the City of Monroe. We hope this sufficiently answers your inquiry; however, if we may be of further assistance please do not hesitate to contact our office. Sincerely yours, JEFF LANDRY ATTORNEY GE L By:____=__ HARY -J.VORH FF Assistant Attorney General
