This bill amends section 320.08058 of the Florida Statutes regarding the issuance and fee distribution for Fraternal Order of Police license plates. The bill removes the requirement for applicants to submit a notarized letter from the Florida State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police to prove membership in good standing or family relation. Instead, it simplifies the application process for obtaining the specialty license plate.

Additionally, the bill revises the distribution of annual use fees. The proceeds will now go to the Florida State Fraternal Order of Police Memorial Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit organization, rather than the Florida State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police. The foundation will distribute the funds according to its articles of incorporation, with a maximum of 10 percent of the proceeds allocated for promotional and administrative costs, while the remaining funds will support projects related to the memorial. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
