Evidently this inspection requirement has been on the books for a long time. The state started enforcing it in the northern parishes in the summer of 2006. The first time most of the boaters found out about it was when the inspection traps were set up just outside of the boat launch areas. They were given tickets for no inspection stickers on the boat trailers as they left the launch areas and entered the highway, first offense, no warnings were given. Needless to say, this has not been well received by the local sportsmen.

Aah Mike, it sounds like you must have went fishing over at Poverty Point Reservoir too. Those guys make a fortune off tickets for fishermen not having inspection stickers on boat trailers there.

Yes NG2951, all trailers (unless you are a farmer) are required to have a vehicle inspection sticker for them in Louisiana......including your Trailmanor, 4 wheeler trailer, utility trailer, boat trailer, etc.

It is being enforced more frequently, but has been required for awhile. Another thing they are getting everyone on is brakes for the trailers. These tandem axle 16 foot trailers are being required to have brakes on both axles. They are slamming these lawn service guys with these trailers.

Here is the actual reg:
