Bill > S1236

This bill requires the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to create a specialty license plate for "Paddle Florida," a program focused on outdoor recreation and natural resource protection. A new annual use fee of $25 will be established for this plate, with the funds initially being retained by the department to cover the costs of developing and issuing the plates. Once these startup costs are recovered, the annual use fees will be distributed to Paddle Florida, Inc., which can use up to 10% for administrative and marketing expenses, with the remaining funds going to the Florida Forever grant program to support activities that promote outdoor recreation and protect natural resources.
