Before the issuance of vouchers for the presale of an out-of-state college or university license plate, the department had to determine whether the state in which the out-of-state college or university is located has authorized any license plates for colleges or universities located in the state of Florida. FSU and UF plates are available in Georgia and the FSU plate is available in Alabama.
The statute creating the Auburn University license plate states that it must have DHSMV-approved colors and design, with the word “Florida” at the top of the plate and “War Eagle” at the bottom of the plate. University of Georgia license plate, must have “Florida” at the top of the plate and “University of Georgia” at the bottom of the plate. University of Alabama license plate must have “Florida” at the top of the plate and “Roll Tide” at the bottom of the plate.

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.
A test website for the Single Portal Initiative — a central electronic system that would allow charities to register in multiple states — went online Monday, announced state charity officials at a conference.
The new effort allows nonprofit officials to test the site and enroll their organizations to solicit donations in Connecticut and Georgia. Charities should be able to register with more states by mid-February 2019 during a second testing phase, said Chad Canfield, operations manager for the charitable-trust section of the Office of the Attorney General of Michigan. As more states join and charities provide their feedback, the site will be improved, he said. "What you see today or what you see tomorrow when you go back and look isn’t what the project is going to look like in six months or a year from now," Canfield said. The idea for the Single Portal Initiative has been in the works for many years, Canfield noted. The goal of the project is to provide a central online registration system for charities and professional fundraisers to fill out for their annual registrations in multiple states. The system would save charities time and money, officials say, because nonprofits would only have to enter in certain data and submit key documents — such as an informational tax form 990 — once. For many charities, the system would replace the bureaucratic labyrinth of completing applications — and often submitting the same documents — for multiple states. The test website launched Monday allows only charities to register, not third-party fundraisers — a feature the project’s developers expect to add. Other features they hope will come later include an analytics tool that will help charity regulators detect fraud and negligence, said Joshua Goldstein, vice president for product at CityBase, which is part of the development team on the site for state officials. State officials also want charity data to be automatically entered from the Forms 990 that organizations file with the Internal Revenue Service, he said. Currently, the test site has separate fields to enter some of the same data for registration in both Connecticut and Georgia, Goldstein noted — though the goal is for charities to enter each piece of information only once to register with many states. The bigger aim, he said, is for the registration process to become much faster. "If you’re a charity and you decide to register in a state, you should be able to complete that registration same day, if not same hour," he said, "and that’s our ambition." Michael Towner ATLANTA, Oct. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Representatives with Georgia EMC, Electric Cities of Georgia, Georgia Power, and the public gathered today at the Jeffrey Vaden Chavis House in Augusta for the unveiling of the state's first Georgia vehicle license plate to pay tribute to linemen.
Sponsored in the Georgia House of Representatives by Rep. Alan Powell (R-Hartwell) and carried in the Senate by Sen. Steve Gooch (R-Dahlonega), House Bill 260 provides for a specialty license plate honoring Georgia's electric utility line workers. It was signed into law by Gov. Nathan Deal in May. "We are so pleased to be a part of recognizing the state's linemen and to partner with Georgia's electric utilities," says Linda McKnight, president/CEO of the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation. "While proceeds of the license plate will help thousands of burn patients and their families each year, we pray that no linemen in Georgia will ever have need of our services." According to the state's utility partners, the timing of the unveiling event is especially meaningful just weeks after Tropical Storm Irma caused more than 1.5 million outages in Georgia. The unprecedented damage set in motion a massive restoration effort involving more than 13,000 utility personnel and additional resources from across the country. Proceeds will benefit the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation (SFBF) which provides assistance to burn patients and their families at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital in Augusta. Specifically, the SFBF provides a place to stay for patients' families at the Jeffrey Vaden Chavis House, just a few steps from the Burn Center, as well as meals and transportation to and from the hospital. After patients are discharged, the SFBF also provides assistance with prescriptions, anti-scarring garments and transportation to follow-up doctor visits. Georgians who are interested in purchasing a "Thank A Lineman" license plate can visit http://www.sfbf.net/License-Plate when renewing their annual motor vehicle registration. For the first 1,000 plates, the one-time $25 specialty plate manufacturing fee will be waived by the Motor Vehicles Division of the Georgia Department of Revenue with a $25 minimum donation to the Southeastern Firefighters Burn Foundation. In addition, by an act of the General Assembly and Governor Deal, $10 of the Georgia Department of Revenue's $35 Annual Specialty Tag Fee for "Thank A Lineman" license plates will be contributed to SFBF each year for as long as the motorist renews the specialty plate. |
