The bill amends s. 320.08, F.S., to add a voluntary contribution check-off option of $1 on driver’s license and identification card applications. Individuals applying for an original, renewal, or replacement driver’s license or identification card will have the option to make a $1 donation to the Disabled American Veterans, Department of Florida (DAV), a not-for-profit organization. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) will collect the voluntary contributions and transfer those funds quarterly to the DAV. According to DHSMV, the DAV has met the requirements set forth in s. 322.081, F.S., and is exempt from the moratorium established in ch. 2010-223, L.O.F.
If approved by the Governor, these provisions take effect July 1, 2011.
