Florida's Visionary License Plate

New Specialty Tags Raise Money for Floridians with Limited Vision or Blindness
This project was spearheaded by the Florida Association of Agencies Serving the Blind (FAASB). Hot off the metal press and loaded on trucks, the new “A State of Vision” specialty license plate rolled out of Tallahassee to tag agencies all across Florida earlier this week. Benefiting blind and visually impaired Floridians through the services of local nonprofit agencies statewide, the new “A State of Vision” specialty license plates are expected to be a hot seller.

Virginia A. Jacko, president and CEO of the Miami Lighthouse for the Blind & Visually Impaired, commented that “These license plates will raise critically-needed money to help thousands of Floridians who live with limited vision or blindness everyday. I’m proud and thankful that the Florida Legislature had the vision to create this new license plate.” The revenue generated by the sale of the new plate will be distributed to the FAASB to provide direct support for local services to Florida’s growing visually impaired population.

Many Lighthouse supporters signed the necessary petitions to create the plate. “This was the very first project of the Florida Legislature’s new Vision Caucus; and it will help thousands of Floridians with vision loss. The Miami Lighthouse supporters were extremely enthusiastic about it,” said William R. Roy, Ph.D., newly installed president of the Board of Directors of the Lighthouse. “I will be asking every member of our board and supporting organizations, such as the Lion and Rotary Clubs, to buy one of these beautiful license plates. Our goal is to help the blind; and this is another great way to do it.”

The new A State of Vision license plate is now available at tag agencies throughout Florida. For more information on their availability, contact your local auto tag agency or County Tax Collector’s office.
