This bill amends section 338.155 of the Florida Statutes to exempt certain disabled veterans and individuals operating vehicles displaying specific license plates from the requirement to pay 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 operating vehicles with a Purple Heart specialty license plate or a motorcycle with a Purple Heart special motorcycle license plate.
Additionally, the bill reenacts section 316.1001(1) to incorporate the amendments made to section 338.155, clarifying that the payment of tolls is required except as specified in the amended section. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
