Bill > S7062

This bill establishes new annual use fees for several specialty license plates, each costing $25, and adds the North American Soccer League (NASL) to the list of professional sports leagues eligible for Florida Professional Sports Team license plates, which are designed to attract and support major sports events and promote the sports industry. The bill also revises how the fees collected from these and other specialty plates are distributed, with some changes including allocating funds for bear-resistant garbage containers for wildlife conservation, adjusting the percentage of funds for marketing and promotion for the "Share the Road" plate, and expanding the uses for funds from the "In God We Trust" plate to support military families, public safety employees, and educational initiatives. Additionally, the bill introduces specific distribution plans for the revenue generated by numerous new specialty plates, such as "Sun Sea Smiles," "Support Special Needs Kids," and "America the Beautiful," directing funds to various charitable organizations, educational programs, and conservation efforts across the state.
