Jimmy Buffett, a musician with many connections to the Sunshine State, could soon be honored in unique fashion.

On Wednesday, two bills were approved by a state Senate committee in celebration of Buffett, who died in September.

State Road A1A, a major Florida highway, would become Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway while specialty "Margaritaville" license plates would be available throughout the state.

"Margaritaville is just what Florida is all about. Jimmy Buffett is the icon of Florida. No one represents the open sun, beaches, music more than Jimmy Buffett and Margaritaville," said Republican state Sen. Gayle Harrell, who sponsored one of the bills, according to the Associated Press.

All proceeds from the license plates will be donated to the Singing for Change charity founded by the late singer. 

"As Jimmy once said, ‘It’s a sweet life living by the salty sea,’ and we could not think of a better way to honor him than by memorializing him along Florida’s coastal highway," Senate Democratic leader Lauren Book said when presenting her bill.

Buffett died Sept. 1, 2023, at the age of 76 years after a battle with cancer.

Buffett's debut album, "Down to Earth," was released in 1970. It was several years later when his breakthrough hit "Margaritaville" from the "Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" album put him on the map.
