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 special 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, alongside other exempt categories such as state military personnel and law enforcement officers on official business.

The new legal language specifically inserts a provision that states, "A person operating a motor vehicle displaying a Purple Heart special license plate or a motorcycle displaying a Purple Heart special motorcycle license plate" is exempt from toll payments. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
