(JTA) – Florida drivers can now show their support for Israel on their license plates.
Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed legislation that authorizes the creation of a “Florida Stands With Israel” specialty plate. The legislation authorized nearly three dozen spe-cialty plates, according to Florida Politics. A portion of the revenue generated by sales of the Israel plate will benefit the first-responder organization Hatzalah of Miami-Dade. The new license plates must have 3,000 pre-orders in order to authorize production. The Israeli-American Council said it will launch a community marketing campaign to reach the mandate. An open contest sponsored by the council – and technically co-ordinated by the co-sponsoring organization, Artists 4 Israel – will decide on the design. The judges will include lawmakers and community leaders.
