Back in October, a new Florida law introduced a handful of new specialty plates to the state’s repertoire.
But while so many new plates are being made available for Florida drivers, others have had to be let go.

A couple weeks after that law went into effect, Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) announced that it was deauthorizing 15 other specialty license plate pre-sale vouchers that failed to meet their quotas. They are as follows:
- Beat Childhood Cancer
- Dan Marino Campus
- Jumbo Shrimp
- Florida 4-H
- Daughters of the American
- Thank a Lineman
- Donate Life Florida
- Revolution
- Give Kids the World
- Rotary
- American Eagles
- Marine Corps League
- Highwaymen
- Guardian Ad Litem
- Florida Native
However, one organization — Florida State Beekeepers Association — was granted a 1-year extension to meet the requirements.
Meanwhile, five other specialty license plates were discontinued last month after they failed to breach 3,000 plate registrations for over a year, the FLHSMV reported. Those five plates include the following:
- A State of Vision
- Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches
- Keep Kids Drug Free
- Scouting Teaches Values — Boys Scouts
- Special Olympics
Another plate for the University of North Florida was discontinued back in February for the same reason, having only 1,558 valid registrations as of the start of 2024.
A vehicle owner who was already issued one of these discontinued plates is allowed to keep using the plate for the rest of its 10-year replacement cycle. In addition, the driver will no longer be charged the annual specialty plate fee that the FLHSMV typically distributes to each plate’s respective organization.
