Committee clears specialty license plate for Miami Dade College; foundation may use up to 10% for administration
Summary
CS for SB 620 authorizes a Miami Dade College specialty license plate; the committee adopted an amendment allowing the Miami Dade College Foundation, Inc. to use up to 10% of proceeds for administrative and marketing costs, with the remainder funding student scholarships.
Senator Rodriguez presented SB 620, a bill that authorizes the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to create a specialty license plate for Miami Dade College.
The sponsor offered an amendment (barcode 572608) authorizing the Miami Dade College Foundation, Inc. to use up to 10% of the funds from plate sales for administrative and marketing costs; the amendment said the balance of fees shall be used to fund student scholarships. There were no appearance forms in opposition and the amendment was adopted by voice vote. The committee then voted to report CS for SB 620 favorably by roll call.
The bill, as amended, proceeds to the next legislative stage. The amendment sets an explicit administrative cap (10%) and a scholarship-use requirement for net proceeds.
