When the state legislature approved thirty two more specialty plates, plus approving the fee for the already approved Blue Angels specialty license plate, the bill required those plates to sell 3,000 presale vouchers (4,000 for out-of-state-colleges) and the presale commenced on October 1, 2020, giving the organizations 2 years to complete the presale minimum or fail.
As we approach the one year mark, only 3 specialty plates have reached the minimum sales requirement, Blue Angels, Redfish and the Disney World plates. A total of 31,053 vouchers have been sold, $155,265.00 going to the state as a specialty license processing fee and $93,159.00 for a 'service charge and branch fee', with $776,325 being held by the state to cover the initial state fees to start the plate production process with any balance going to the successful organizations, based on their individual sales. A further seven prospective plates will be added on October 1, 2021, having been approved by the Legislature earlier this year. The three approved plates account for more than half (17,761) of the 31,053 sold. The Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced a new Walt Disney World specialty license plate is now available at tax collector offices and license plate agencies statewide. Plates are being delivered by PRIDE this week. Floridians who purchased presale vouchers for the specialty plate are now also able to redeem them, and those who wish to purchase the new specialty plate may do so now. 32 new specialty license plates were authorized during the 2020 Legislative Session, and the presale process began in October 2020. The Walt Disney World specialty plate is the third plate from the 2020 Legislative Session to have their newly authorized specialty plate meet all design, development, manufacturing, and presale requirements established to begin the distribution process.
7 more proposed specialty plates will be added to the list of Presale Vouchers on October 1, 2021 including a new plate for Protect Marine Wildlife. More than 10,000 presale vouchers have been purchased by Floridians for the Walt Disney World specialty license plate and it is expected to do very well. Endless Summer is the current top selling specialty license plate. The revenue collected annually from the sale of the Walt Disney World specialty license plate will be distributed to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Central and Northern Florida, a Florida nonprofit, for activities and programs for families with critically ill children. You can order your Walt Disney plate online now. MyFloridaSpecialtyPlate is awaiting delivery of the tags from the state and should have them in stock this week. |
