The bill amends section 338.155 of the Florida Statutes to exempt certain disabled veterans from the requirement to pay tolls for the use of toll facilities. Specifically, it adds a new exemption for individuals who have been determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs to have a service-connected 100-percent disability rating for compensation or who are receiving disability retirement pay from any branch of the United States Armed Services. This addition is intended to provide financial relief to disabled veterans who may face challenges in affording tolls.

Additionally, the bill reenacts subsection (1) of section 316.1001 to incorporate the amendment made to section 338.155, ensuring that the reference to toll payment exemptions is consistent throughout the statutes. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
