FSU and UF plates are available in Georgia and the FSU plate is available in Alabama.

​When the license plate on the presale voucher becomes authorized, the voucher can only be used with the issuance of that specific license plate; which can be processed at the time the license plate becomes available or when the customer’s current license plate is renewed.
If the plate fails to meet the presale voucher requirements within the two-year period the plate will not be manufactured and the customer may apply the presale voucher towards a different specialty license plate or apply for a refund for the specialty license plate fee only. Form HSMV 83363 is used to apply for a refund.

​Also, FLHSMV may de-authorize a specialty license plate and discontinue its issuance if the number of valid specialty license plate registrations falls below 4,000 valid registrations for out-of-state colleges or universities for at least 12 consecutive months. If the plate associated with the presale voucher meets the voucher minimum but is subsequently de-authorized before the voucher is used, the voucher cannot be used towards a different specialty plate or be refunded.

At the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis, the Florida Highway Patrol is assisting the Florida Department of Transportation and the Florida Department of Health (DOH) with checkpoints for motorists entering Florida on I-10 and I-95.
The checkpoints were set up in late March as part of an effort to get travelers from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Louisiana to self-isolate upon arriving in Florida.
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Louisiana were targeted because they were hotspots for the virus.
Motorists traveling from Alabama into Florida on Interstate 10 will no longer face being stopped for COVID-19 checks.
The Florida Department of Transportation announced Friday that a checkpoint east of the Florida-Alabama border is being deactivated as part of Gov. Ron DeSantis starting the second phase of a COVID-19 economic recovery plan.

​Over objections of House Democrats, lawmakers are trying to increase the number of specialty license plates while putting new guardrails around the process.
The House voted 78-40 on Wednesday for a proposal (HB 1135) that would expand the potential number of specialty license plates from 121 to 150, while revising the process to discontinue low sellers.
The bill would allow new plates to get on the road if supporters can meet higher sales thresholds. It would allow plates for the University of Alabama, the University of Georgia and Auburn University, giving fans a chance to showcase their support for the out-of-state schools.
On Tuesday, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved a similar version (SB 412), sending it to the Senate floor. There was no debate on the bill.
The Senate measure by Sen. Aaron Bean, R-Fernandina Beach, pushes for a cap of 200 designs.

​The House proposal was opposed by House Democrats for failing to include long-sought plates for nine black fraternities and sororities dubbed the “Divine 9.”
Rep. Geraldine Thompson, D-Windermere, said supporters of plates for the Greek service organizations have been told for eight years to “wait,” which “almost always means no.”
“If we’re going to have 150 specialty license plates here in the state of Florida, we ought to make sure that in terms of ethnic groups, in terms of colleges and universities, that it is fair and there is some objective criteria in recommending these license plates,” Thompson said.
Rep. Bobby DuBose, D-Fort Lauderdale, called it ironic that Georgia and Alabama offer specialty plates for the “Divine 9” organizations.

​House sponsor James Grant, R-Tampa, said he gave backers of the “Divine 9” plates an opportunity to submit a single “super tag” template that could be used for the different organizations.
“I’ll still honor that deal despite the rhetoric in this chamber suggesting that in some capacity a decision about license tags has anything to do with racial discrimination,” Grant said.
Among the proposed new designs would be for Ducks Unlimited, The Dan Marino Foundation, the Florida State Beekeepers Association, Rotary, the Florida National Parks Association, the St. Lucie County Education Foundation, Orlando City Soccer, the Palm Beach Zoo and Conservation Society and Daughters of the American Revolution.
Backers of each plate would have 60 days to submit designs. That would be followed by a two-year period to reach a pre-sale level of at least 3,000 plates, up from 1,000, before the tags could move forward. Supporters of the of the out-of-state universities would have to get 4,000 pre-sales.
Each plate would have to maintain those numbers or, starting July 1, 2022, be discontinued if below the new sales benchmark for 12 consecutive months.
If a plate fails to reach the pre-sale minimum, people who have pre-bought could opt for different designs or get refunds.
Plates for Florida colleges, some of which are the lowest sellers, would be exempt from the minimum sales requirement.
As of last month, 1.63 million specialty plates were registered in Florida, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
The top seller remains the University of Florida, followed by Helping Sea Turtles Survive, the surfing-related Endless Summer and Florida State University.
Grant has been working since the 2017 legislative session to get a plate for Auburn, his alma mater.
Sen. Perry Thurston, D-Fort Lauderdale, added a plate for Morehouse College, a private historically black college in Atlanta, to the Senate bill on Tuesday. The Senate proposal also don’t include the “Divine 9” organizations.

​Starting next month, fans of the LSU Tigers who live in Alabama will be able to purchase their own specialty license plate through the Alabama Department of Revenue. The license plate honoring the current college football National Champions will have a white background with a purple square with LSU written in gold on the side.
Two-hundred and fifty pre-commitments were required before the license plate could be printed.
The plates may be personalized and will cost an additional $50. Alabama will get some benefit from the tags – the $50 will go to the state’s general fund.
LSU isn’t the only out-of-state university with Alabama license plates. Fans of Florida State University, Mississippi State University, University of Georgia and University of Mississippi can also purchase official license plates supporting their teams.
Louisiana doesn’t offer any specialty license plates for Alabama universities.
