This bill amends Florida Statutes regarding specialty license plates, specifically increasing the annual use fee for the Florida Wildflower license plate from $15 to $25, while providing a discount for owners purchasing the plate for more than ten vehicles, reducing the fee to $15 per plate. Additionally, the bill directs the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to develop several new specialty license plates, including those for Supporting FHP Troopers, Miami Dade College, St. Petersburg College, and others, with specific designs and fee distribution guidelines outlined for each.

The newly created license plates will have their annual use fees allocated to various nonprofit organizations and educational institutions, with up to 10% of the fees allowed for administrative costs and marketing. The remaining funds will be used for scholarships, conservation efforts, and other initiatives that support the respective causes associated with each plate. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
