Bill > S0620

This bill directs the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to create two new specialty license plates: one for Miami Dade College and another for St. Petersburg College. Both plates will feature the word "Florida" at the top and the respective college name at the bottom or side. For the Miami Dade College plate, the annual fees collected will be distributed to the Miami Dade College Foundation, with up to 10% used for administrative costs and marketing, and the remaining funds dedicated to student scholarships. The St. Petersburg College plate's fees will be allocated more specifically: 10% for administrative and marketing expenses, 40% for student scholarships to ensure educational access, and 50% for initiatives supporting student success in emerging technologies and workforce development programs. These new specialty license plates aim to provide additional funding and support for students at both colleges, helping to enhance educational opportunities and prepare students for future careers. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025.
