The 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 specialty license plate or a Purple Heart special motorcycle license plate. This addition recognizes the service and sacrifice of Purple Heart medal recipients by allowing them to use toll facilities without payment.

The effective date for this amendment is set for July 1, 2025. The bill aims to honor veterans who have received the Purple Heart by providing them with a financial benefit when using toll roads in Florida.
