AI Summary

This bill amends Florida's laws related to specialty license plates. It revises the limit on the number of specialty license plates the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) can issue, from 150 to 125. The bill also makes changes to the distribution of annual use fees from the sale of the "Live the Dream" license plate, including allocating funds for programs assisting inmates re-entering the community and providing scholarships to students with incarcerated parents. Additionally, the bill requires the DHSMV to develop several new specialty license plates, including for the Inter Miami CF soccer team, swimming safety, Down Syndrome awareness, the gopher tortoise, and the "Take Stock in Children" mentorship program. The revenue from these new plates will support the respective organizations and their initiatives in Florida.
