  214  means available.

  352  orders have the effect of prohibiting the operations of any
  353  motor vehicles owned, leased, or otherwise operated by the motor
  354  carrier upon the roadways of this state, until the violations
  355  have been corrected or penalties have been paid. Out-of-service
  356  orders must be approved by the director of the Division of the
  357  Florida Highway Patrol or his or her designee. An administrative
  358  hearing pursuant to s. 120.569 shall be afforded to motor
  359  carriers subject to such orders.
  360         Section 13. Section 316.613, Florida Statutes, is amended
  361  to read:

  364  section herein, while transporting a child in a motor vehicle
  365  operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of this state,
  366  shall, if the child is 5 years of age or younger, provide for
  367  protection of the child by properly using a crash-tested,
  368  federally approved child restraint device. For children aged
  369  through 3 years, such restraint device must be a separate
  370  carrier or a vehicle manufacturer’s integrated child seat. For
  371  children aged 4 through 5 years, a separate carrier, an
  372  integrated child seat, or a seat belt may be used.
  373         (b) The department shall provide notice of the requirement
  374  for child restraint devices, which notice shall accompany the
  375  delivery of each motor vehicle license tag.
  376         (2) As used in this section, the term “motor vehicle” means
  377  a motor vehicle as defined in s. 316.003 that is operated on the
  378  roadways, streets, and highways of the state. The term does not

  390  restraint shall not be considered comparative negligence, nor
  391  shall such failure be admissible as evidence in the trial of any
  392  civil action with regard to negligence.
  393         (4) It is the legislative intent that all state, county,
  394  and local law enforcement agencies, and safety councils, in

  396  unrestrained occupancy in motor vehicles, conduct a continuing
  397  safety and public awareness campaign as to the magnitude of the

  408  the penalty specified in chapter 318 and associated costs may be
  409  waived at the court’s discretion and the assessment of points
  410  shall be waived. The child restraint safety program must use a
  411  course approved by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor
  412  Vehicles, and the fee for the course must bear a reasonable
  413  relationship to the cost of providing the course.
  414         (6) The child restraint requirements imposed by this
  415  section do not apply to a chauffeur-driven taxi, limousine,

  418  transportation of persons for compensation. It is the obligation
  419  and responsibility of the parent, guardian, or other person
  420  responsible for a child’s welfare, as defined in s. 39.01(47),
  421  to comply with the requirements of this section.

  434  (1)(a) commits a misdemeanor of the second degree punishable as
  435  provided in s. 775.082 or s. 775.083.
  436         (3) Any person who violates the provisions of paragraph

  438  by a fine not less than $50 and not more than $500.
  439         (4) Any person who violates subsection (1) and in so doing
  440  causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent
  441  disfigurement to a child commits a felony of the third degree,
  442  punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.
  443         (5) Any law enforcement officer who observes a child left

  446  to protect the minor child and to remove the child from the
  447  vehicle.
  448         (6) If the child is removed from the immediate area,
  449  notification should be placed on the vehicle.
  450         (7) The child shall be remanded to the custody of the
  451  Department of Children and Family Services pursuant to chapter
  452  39, unless the law enforcement officer is able to locate the
  453  parents or legal guardian or other person responsible for the
  454  child.
  455         Section 15. Subsection (2) of section 316.655, Florida
  456  Statutes, is amended to read:
  457         316.655 Penalties.—
  458         (2) A driver Drivers convicted of a violation of any
  459  offense prohibited by this chapter or any other law of this
  460  state regulating motor vehicles, which resulted in an accident,
  461  may have his or her their driving privileges revoked or
  462  suspended by the court if the court finds such revocation or
  463  suspension warranted by the totality of the circumstances
  464  resulting in the conviction and the need to provide for the
  465  maximum safety for all persons who travel on or who are
  466  otherwise affected by the use of the highways of the state. In
  467  determining whether suspension or revocation is appropriate, the
  468  court shall consider all pertinent factors, including, but not
  469  limited to, such factors as the extent and nature of the
  470  driver’s violation of this chapter, the number of persons killed
  471  or injured as the result of the driver’s violation of this
  472  chapter, and the extent of any property damage resulting from
  473  the driver’s violation of this chapter.

  503  driver’s license and who is cited while driving a noncommercial
  504  motor vehicle for an offense listed under this subsection may,
  505  in lieu of payment of fine or court appearance, elect to enter a
  506  plea of nolo contendere and provide proof of compliance to the
