As I've been on the phone with Florida Construction License applicants after the April examinations, the word "expediting" seems to get thrown around a lot recently. Several folks who have called seem to think that application processors have a magical "in" up at the DBPR. If they are being told that or if they interpret their conversation as that, I do not know. However, the answer is - No, the DBPR is a government agency that cannot extend preferential treatment to some and not to others. Many years ago back in my Civil days as a CAD/GIS consultant, we sent promotional t-shirts to a government entity and the hammer came down fast on us and the government employees who accepted those hokey t-shirts (which were good scrap shirts for painting...) Because the shirts were freebies, our company couldn't imagine that we doing anything wrong, but we were told we were bad. After that, we were careful to check before we acted so that we didn't not interfere with anyone's career.
