This bill proposes the creation of specialty license plates for Miami Dade College and St. Petersburg College, amending section 320.08058 of the Florida Statutes. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is directed to develop these plates, which will feature the respective college names and designs approved by the department. The Miami Dade College license plate will allocate annual use fees to the Miami Dade College Foundation, Inc., with up to 10% for administrative costs and the remainder for student scholarships. Similarly, the St. Petersburg College license plate will distribute fees to the St. Petersburg College Foundation, Inc., with 10% for administrative costs, 40% for student scholarships, and 50% for initiatives supporting student success in emerging technologies and workforce development.
The bill includes specific provisions for the design and fee distribution of both license plates, ensuring that funds raised will directly benefit students and educational initiatives at the respective colleges. The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
