8 (6) are added to that section, to read:
9 320.06 Registration certificates, license plates, and
10 validation stickers generally.—
11 (3)(a) Registration license plates must be made of metal
12 specially treated with a retroreflection material, as specified
13 by the department, if such specifications do not contain
14 proprietary requirements that would eliminate qualified vendors.
15 The registration license plate is designed to increase nighttime
16 visibility and legibility and must be at least 6 inches wide and
17 not less than 12 inches in length, unless a plate with reduced
18 dimensions is deemed necessary by the department to accommodate
19 motorcycles, mopeds, or similar smaller vehicles. Validation
20 stickers must also be treated with a retroreflection material,
21 must be of such size as specified by the department, and must
22 adhere to the license plate. The registration license plate must
23 be imprinted with a combination of bold letters and numerals or
24 numerals, not to exceed seven digits, to identify the
25 registration license plate number. The license plate must be
26 imprinted with the word “Florida” at the top and the name of the
27 county in which it is sold, the state motto, or the words
28 “Sunshine State” at the bottom. Apportioned license plates must
29 have the word “Apportioned” at the bottom and license plates
30 issued for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(3)(d), (4)(m) or (n),
31 (5)(b) or (c), or (14) must have the word “Restricted” at the
32 bottom. License plates issued for vehicles taxed under s.
33 320.08(12) must be imprinted with the word “Florida” at the top
34 and the word “Dealer” at the bottom. Manufacturer license plates
35 issued for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(12) must be imprinted
36 with the word “Florida” at the top and the word “Manufacturer”
37 at the bottom. License plates issued for vehicles taxed under s.
38 320.08(5)(d) or (e) must be imprinted with the word “Wrecker” at
39 the bottom. Any county may, upon majority vote of the county
40 commission, elect to have the county name removed from the
41 license plates sold in that county. The state motto or the words
42 “Sunshine State” shall be printed in lieu thereof. A license
43 plate issued for a vehicle taxed under s. 320.08(6) may not be
44 assigned a registration license number, or be issued with any
45 other distinctive character or designation, that distinguishes
46 the motor vehicle as a for-hire motor vehicle.
