The bill amends section 338.155 of the Florida Statutes to exempt certain disabled veterans from the requirement to pay tolls when using toll facilities. Specifically, it introduces 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 receive disability retirement pay from any branch of the United States Armed Services. This addition aims to provide financial relief to veterans with significant disabilities.

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 updated accordingly. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, thereby formalizing these changes to the toll payment regulations for eligible veterans.
