This bill amends section 338.155 of the Florida Statutes to expand the eligibility for toll exemptions to include individuals operating vehicles that display a Purple Heart special license plate or a Purple Heart special motorcycle license plate. The new provision is added as a ninth exemption under the existing list of exemptions for toll payments, which includes various categories such as state military personnel, individuals with disabilities, and law enforcement officers on official business.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, providing recognition and benefits to Purple Heart medal recipients by allowing them to use toll facilities without incurring charges, thereby honoring their service and sacrifice.
