Florida Agencies Face Revenue Projection Deadlines Under New License Plate Law
What happened
Beginning October 1, 2026, Florida law requires organizations that receive money from specialty license plates to provide increased financial information to the state. This law, SB 246, mandates that when a new specialty license plate is approved, the organization behind it must deliver a five-year revenue projection to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This requirement applies to organizations including St. Petersburg College and the United States Naval Academy.
