Part of the proceeds from the sales of these new plates will go toward the organization associated with each respective plate.

According to our sister station WKMG, the new law directs the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to design additional specialty license plates, which include options for plates themed around places like Universal Orlando, The Villages, and Margaritaville.

Currently, presale vouchers are available for all the new plates, each costing $33. The plates must receive 3,000 presale vouchers before they can go into circulation.

Here are the new designs and what Florida drivers can expect to receive when purchasing the plates:

Presale vouchers for specialty plates based on Universal Orlando Resort and United Service Organizations are also available, though designs have yet to be released.

Each plate has up to two years to sell 3,000 vouchers before the license plate will be manufactured.

If the presale period ends without an organization hitting that target, their respective specialty plate will be deauthorized, meaning it will not be produced.

In that case, anyone who bought a presale voucher for the plate can apply for a refund.

Drivers can order presale vouchers for these plates through their local tax collector’s office.

To do so online, drivers must type in their license plate number (or the recipient’s if the voucher is being sent as a gift).
