Committee OKs specialty license plate to benefit Miami Northwestern Senior High School
Summary
The committee reported favorably on CS for SB 666, which would create a Miami Northwestern Alumni Association specialty license plate with proceeds supporting scholarships, academic and athletic programs, and the school’s performing and visual arts center.
The Appropriations Committee on Transportation, Tourism and Economic Development on Oct. 12 reported favorably CS for Senate Bill 666, a proposal to create a Miami Northwestern Alumni Association specialty license plate whose annual fees would fund scholarships, academic and athletic programs and the Miami Northwestern Senior High School Performing and Visual Arts Center.
Senator Jones, sponsor of SB 666, told the committee that Miami Northwestern Senior High School, established in 1955 as the first new high school for Miami‑Dade’s Black community, has a “distinguished list of alumni” and that the plate’s proceeds would support programs that “have fostered the success of its distinguished alumni.” The bill drew supportive remarks from several senators and no recorded opposition.
After no committee debate and no appearance forms opposing the measure, Brooke called the roll. The transcript records senators voting “Yes” in roll call, and the clerk reported: “Party vote. CS for Senate Bill 666 is reported favorably.”
