New Specialty tag raises money for Visually Impaired


A new tag is now available at tag agencies across the state. The "A State of Vision" license plate will benefit blind and visually impaired Floridans. Proceeds from the sale of the tags will got to support the services of local non-profit agencies statewide, including Independence for the Blind of West Florida. The plates are expected to be a popular seller as the design will appeal to many individuals.

The project was spearheaded by the Florida Association of Agencies Serving the Blind (FAASB). 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. Supporters of Independence for the Blind and other local agencies throughout the state signed the necessary petitions to create the new plate.

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