This bill amends section 338.155 of the Florida Statutes to exempt certain disabled veterans and individuals operating vehicles with specific license plates from paying tolls on toll facilities. The new provisions include exemptions 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, as well as those displaying a Purple Heart specialty license plate or a Purple Heart special motorcycle license plate. These additions aim to recognize and support the sacrifices made by veterans and their families.

Additionally, the bill reenacts subsection (1) of section 316.1001 to incorporate the amendments 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, providing a clear timeline for the implementation of these new exemptions for eligible individuals.
