   12  increase nighttime visibility and legibility and must be at
   13  least 6 inches wide and not less than 12 inches in length,

   17  a retroreflection material, must be of such size as specified by
   18  the department, and must adhere to the license plate. The

   52  specialty license plate as authorized in s. 320.08056. The
   53  plates shall conform in all respects to the provisions of this
   54  chapter, except as specified herein. For additional fees as set

  283  authorized by s. 320.08058 or to pay the cost of the audit or

  288  plates pursuant to paragraph (3)(d) for the Support Our Troops
  289  and American Legion license plates; paragraphs (4)(b), (q), and

  295  plates, the interest earned from those fees, or any fees
  296  received by any entity an agency as a result of the sale of
  297  specialty license plates may not be used for the purpose of
  298  marketing to, or lobbying, entertaining, or rewarding, an
  299  employee of a governmental agency that is responsible for the
  300  sale and distribution of specialty license plates, or an elected
  301  member or employee of the Legislature.
  302         (12)For out-of-state college or university license plates
  303  created pursuant to this section, the recipient organization
  304  shall meet both of the following requirements:
