112 320.04 shall be paid in full for each 6-month registration. A
113 vehicle required to be registered under this paragraph is not

116 Section 4. Section 320.06, Florida Statutes, is amended to

129 (b)1. Registration license plates bearing a graphic symbol
130 and the alphanumeric system of identification shall be issued
131 for a 10-year period. At the end of the 10-year period, upon
132 renewal, the plate shall be replaced. The department shall
133 extend the scheduled license plate replacement date from a 6
134 year period to a 10-year period. The fee for such replacement is
135 $28, $2.80 of which shall be paid each year before the plate is
136 replaced, to be credited toward the next $28 replacement fee.
137 The fees shall be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating

139 years’ payments of the prorated replacement fee if the plate is
140 replaced or surrendered before the end of the 10-year period,
141 except that a credit may be given if a registrant is required by
142 the department to replace a license plate under s.
143 320.08056(8)(a). With each license plate, a validation sticker
144 shall be issued showing the owner’s birth month, license plate
145 number, and the year of expiration or the appropriate renewal

161 taxes and fees imposed by this chapter, the 80-cent fee increase
162 in the replacement fee imposed by chapter 2009-71, Laws of
163 Florida, is negated as provided in s. 320.0804.
164 (c) Registration license plates equipped with validation
165 stickers subject to the registration period are valid for not
166 more than 12 months and expire at midnight on the last day of

171 registration license plate equipped with a validation sticker
172 subject to a permanent registration period is permanently valid
173 but shall become void if appropriate license taxes and fees are
174 not paid annually. For each registration period after the one in
175 which the metal registration license plate is issued, and until

177 sticker showing the month and year of expiration shall be issued
178 upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees and is
179 valid for not more than 12 months. For each extended
180 registration period occurring after the one in which the metal
181 registration license plate is issued and until the license plate
182 is required to be replaced, a validation sticker showing the
183 year of expiration shall be issued upon payment of the proper
184 license tax amount and fees and is valid for not more than 24
185 months. For each permanent registration period occurring after
186 the one in which the metal registration license plate is issued
187 and until the license plate is required to be replaced, a
188 validation sticker showing a permanent registration period shall
189 be issued upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees
190 and is permanently valid but shall become void if the proper
191 license taxes and fees are not paid annually. When license
192 plates equipped with validation stickers are issued in any month
193 other than the owner’s birth month or the designated
194 registration period for any other motor vehicle, the effective
195 date shall reflect the birth month or month and the year of
196 renewal. However, when a license plate or validation sticker is
197 issued for a period of less than 12 months, the applicant shall
198 pay the appropriate amount of license tax and the applicable fee
199 under s. 320.14 in addition to all other fees. Validation
200 stickers issued for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(6)(a), for
201 any company that owns 250 vehicles or more, or for semitrailers
202 taxed under the provisions of s. 320.08(5)(a), for any company
203 that owns 50 vehicles or more, may be placed on any vehicle in
204 the fleet so long as the vehicle receiving the validation
205 sticker has the same owner’s name and address as the vehicle to
206 which the validation sticker was originally assigned.
207 (2) The department shall provide the several tax collectors
208 and license plate agents with the necessary number of validation
209 stickers.

211 specially treated with a retroreflection material, as specified
212 by the department. The registration license plate is designed to
213 increase nighttime visibility and legibility and must be at
214 least 6 inches wide and not less than 12 inches in length,
215 unless a plate with reduced dimensions is deemed necessary by
216 the department to accommodate motorcycles, mopeds, or similar
217 smaller vehicles. Validation stickers must also be treated with
218 a retroreflection material, must be of such size as specified by
219 the department, and must adhere to the license plate. The

225 motto, or the words “Sunshine State” at the bottom. Apportioned
226 license plates must have the word “Apportioned” at the bottom,

228 320.08(3)(d), (4)(m) or (n), (5)(b) or (c), or (14) must have
229 the word “Restricted” at the bottom. License plates issued for
230 vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(12) must be imprinted with the
231 word “Florida” at the top and the word “Dealer” at the bottom

239 commission, elect to have the county name removed from the
240 license plates sold in that county. The state motto or the words
241 “Sunshine State” shall be printed in lieu thereof. A license
242 plate issued for a vehicle taxed under s. 320.08(6) may not be
243 assigned a registration license number, or be issued with any
244 other distinctive character or designation, that distinguishes
245 the motor vehicle as a for-hire motor vehicle.
246 (b) An additional fee of 50 cents shall be collected on
247 each motor vehicle registration or motor vehicle renewal
248 registration issued in this state in order for all license
249 plates and validation stickers to be fully treated with
250 retroreflection material. The fee shall be deposited into the
251 Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund.
252 (4) The corporation organized under chapter 946 may

256 Vehicles as provided in this chapter and chapter 327. The
257 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is not required
258 to obtain competitive bids in order to contract with the
259 corporation.
260 (5) The department may conduct a pilot program to evaluate
261 the designs, concepts, and technologies for alternative license
262 plates. For purposes of the pilot program, the department shall
263 investigate the feasibility and use of alternative license plate
264 technologies and the long-term cost impact to the consumer. The
265 pilot program shall be limited to license plates that are used
266 on government-owned motor vehicles as described in s. 320.0655.
267 Such license plates are exempt from the requirements in
268 paragraph (3)(a).
269 (6) All license plates issued pursuant to this chapter are
270 the property of the state.
