→Automobile inspection sticker controversy
Opposition developed when [[Lobbying|lobbyists]] representing the people who perform the inspections lined up against Bagley's proposal. Many of these businesses make nearly half of their overall income from the inspections. Bagley favored adding the inspection fee to one's motor vehicle registration. However, the Louisiana Constituiton of 1974 places a cap on the amount of that fee. Hence the proposed change would require a constitutional amendment to adjust the vehicle registration fee structure. Bagley vowed that on his reelection in 2019, he would bring back the matter in the 2021 economic session of the legislature. Bagley said that he wants to hire 150 new state troopers by using the funds that the state spends on the inspections.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://710keel.com/inspection-stickers-not-going-away-in-louisiana/|title=Inspection Stickers Not Going Away in Louisiana|publisher=KEEL [[Radio]] in [[Shreveport]]|date=May 23, 2019|author=Erin McCarty|accessdate=May 26, 2019}}</ref> Louisiana hence remains one of thirteen states with motor vehicle inspection laws.<ref name=theadvocate/>
