Specialty License Plates

HB 1379 creates a new "Outsider" specialty license plate for Florida vehicles, requiring the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to design it with "Florida" at the top and "Outsider" at the bottom. The annual fees from selling these plates will be distributed to the Hoober Brothers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, with 25% covering marketing and administrative costs and 75% funding the creation or restoration of public destinations across Florida. This bill directly affects vehicle owners who purchase the plate and the Hoober Brothers Foundation, which will manage the funds. The bill takes effect on October 1, 2026.
