   34  described in s. 1009.89, shall create a standard template
   35  specialty license plate with a unique logo or graphic

   38  template specialty license plate in lieu of its own specialty
   39  license plate. Annual use fees from the sale of these license
   40  plates shall be distributed to the independent college or
   41  university for which the logo or graphic is displayed on the
   42  license plate and shall be used as provided in s. 320.08058(3).
   43  Independent colleges or universities opting to use the standard
   44  template specialty license plate shall have their plate sales
   45  combined with previous individual independent college or
   46  university license plate sales for purposes of meeting the
   47  minimum license plate sales threshold in paragraph (8)(a) and
   48  for determining the license plate limit in s. 320.08053(3)(b).
   49  Specialty license plates created pursuant to this subsection
   50  must be ordered directly from the department. If the independent
   51  college or university elects to use the standard template
   52  specialty license plate, the department shall discontinue the
   53  existing specialty license plate.
