461	license and who is cited while driving a noncommercial motor

469	subsection in the 12 months preceding election hereunder. No
470	person may make more than three elections under this subsection.

520	remain on the records of the department for a period of 7 years
521	from the date imposed and shall be removed from the records
522	after the expiration of 7 years from the date it is imposed.
523	(c)  A person charged with a traffic infraction may request

1570	physician has signed an additional section of the department's
1571	parking permit application to exempt the disabled person from

1581	(2)  DISABLED PARKING PERMIT; PERSONS WITH LONG-TERM
1582	MOBILITY PROBLEMS.-
1583	(a)  The disabled parking permit is a placard that can be

1585	rear of the vehicle. Each side of the placard must have the
1586	international symbol of accessibility in a contrasting color in
1587	the center so as to be visible. One side of the placard must
1588	display the applicant's driver's license number or state
1589	identification card number along with a warning that the
1590	applicant must have such identification at all times while using
1591	the parking permit. In those cases where the severity of the
1592	disability prevents a disabled person from physically visiting
1593	or being transported to a driver license or tax collector office
1594	to obtain a driver's license or identification card, a
1595	certifying physician may sign the exemption section of the
1596	department's parking permit application to exempt the disabled
1597	person from being issued a driver's license or identification
1598	card for the number to be displayed on the parking permit. A
1599	validation sticker must also be issued with each disabled
1600	parking permit, showing the month and year of expiration on each
1601	side of the placard. Validation stickers must be of the size
1602	specified by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
1603	and must be affixed to the disabled parking permits. The
1604	disabled parking permits must use the same colors as license
1605	plate validations.
1606	(b)  License plates issued under ss. 320.084, 320.0842,
1607	320.0843, and 320.0845 are valid for the same parking privileges
1608	and other privileges provided under ss. 316.1955, 316.1964, and
1609	526.141(5)(a).
1610	(c)  The department shall not issue an additional disabled
1611	parking permit unless the applicant states that he or she is a
1612	frequent traveler or a quadriplegic. The department may not
1613	issue to any one eligible applicant more than two disabled
1614	parking permits except to an organization in accordance with
1615	paragraph (1)(e). Subsections (1), (5), (6), and (7) apply to
1616	this subsection.
1617	(d)  If an applicant who is a disabled veteran, is a
1618	resident of this state, has been honorably discharged, and
1619	either has been determined by the Department of Defense or the
1620	United States Department of Veterans Affairs or its predecessor
1621	to have a service-connected disability rating for compensation
1622	of 50 percent or greater or has been determined to have a
1623	service-connected disability rating of 50 percent or greater and
1624	is in receipt of both disability retirement pay from the United
1625	States Department of Veterans Affairs, he or she must still
1626	provide a signed physician's statement of qualification for the
1627	disabled parking permits.
1628	(e)  To obtain a replacement for a disabled parking permit
1629	that has been lost or stolen, a person must appear in person,
1630	submit an application on a form prescribed by the department,
1631	and must pay a replacement fee in the amount of $1.00, to be
1632	retained by the issuing agency. If the person submits with the
1633	application a police report documenting that the permit was
1634	stolen, there is no replacement fee. The requirement to apply
1635	for replacement in person does not apply if the severity of the
1636	disability prevents a disabled person from physically visiting
1637	or being transported to a driver license or tax collector
1638	office, and the certifying physician has signed an additional
1639	section of the department's parking permit application to exempt
1640	the disabled person from the appearance requirement.
1641	(f)  A person who qualifies for a disabled parking permit
1642	under this section may be issued an international wheelchair
1643	user symbol license plate under s. 320.0843 in lieu of the
1644	disabled parking permit; or, if the person qualifies for a "DV"
1645	license plate under s. 320.084, such a license plate may be
1646	issued to him or her in lieu of a disabled parking permit.
1647	(4)  From the proceeds of the temporary disabled parking
1648	permit fees:
1649	(a)  The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles
1650	must receive $3.50 for each temporary permit, to be deposited
1651	into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund and used for
1652	implementing the real-time disabled parking permit database and
1653	for administering the disabled parking permit program.
1654	(b)  The tax collector, for processing, must receive $2.50
