CS/CS/SB 364 — Specialty License Plates

by Appropriations Committee; Transportation Committee; and Senators Bean and Perry

This summary is provided for information only and does not represent the opinion of any Senator, Senate Officer, or Senate Office.

Prepared by: Transportation Committee (TR)

The bill reduces the minimum voucher sale requirement for all specialty license plates to 3,000, before manufacture of the license plate may commence. In addition, the bill directs the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to extend the presale period by an additional 24 months, from 24 months to 48 months, for an approved specialty license plate organization that, as of the date the bill becomes a law, is in the presale period but has not recorded at least 3,000 voucher sales.

The bill decreases the specialty license plate limit from 150 to 135.

The bill provides that independent colleges or universities opting to use the standard template specialty license plate will have their plate sales combined with existing valid registrations of individual independent college or university license plates for purposes of meeting the minimum license plate sales threshold for at least 12 consecutive months and license plate limits in statute.

The bill creates a Blue Angels motorcycle specialty license plate and eight new specialty license plates: Inter Miami CF; Safe Haven for Newborns; Pap Corps Champions for Cancer Research; Learn to Fly; Florida Swims; Down Syndrome Awareness; Gopher Tortoise; and Take Stock in Children. The bill also amends the existing Live the Dream specialty license plate.

If approved by the Governor, these provisions, except as otherwise expressly provided for in the bill, take effect upon becoming law.

Vote: Senate 38-0; House 105-10
