Bill > S1024

This bill directs the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to create two new specialty license plates honoring the United States Naval Academy and the United States Military Academy. The Naval Academy plate will feature the word "Florida" at the top and the phrase "Go Navy, Beat Army!" at the bottom, with its annual fees distributed to the Blue Angels Foundation, Inc. Up to 10% of the fees can be used for administrative costs, while the remaining funds will support wounded veterans through services like transitional housing, PTSD treatment, and suicide prevention. Similarly, the Military Academy plate will display "Florida" at the top and "Go Army, Beat Navy!" at the bottom, with its fees going to the Home Base Florida Foundation. This foundation can also use up to 10% of the fees for administrative purposes, with the remainder supporting clinical care, wellness, education, and research for veterans, service members, and their families requiring complex care. The bill is set to take effect on October 1, 2025, and aims to raise awareness and provide financial support for military-connected individuals through these specialty license plate programs.
