104 (c) Notwithstanding the requirements of paragraph (a), the

120 otherwise required, except the service charge required by s.
121 320.04 shall be paid in full for each 6-month registration. A
122 vehicle required to be registered under this paragraph is not

125 Section 5. Section 320.06, Florida Statutes, is amended to

127 320.06 Registration certificates, registration certificate

131 other fees required by law, the department shall assign to the
132 motor vehicle a registration license number consisting of
133 letters and numerals or numerals and issue to the owner or

135 card if requested by the owner or lessee, and one registration

138 (b)1. Registration license plates bearing a graphic symbol
139 and the alphanumeric system of identification shall be issued
140 for a 10-year period. At the end of the 10-year period, upon
141 renewal, the plate shall be replaced. The department shall
142 extend the scheduled license plate replacement date from a 6
143 year period to a 10-year period. The fee for such replacement is
144 $28, $2.80 of which shall be paid each year before the plate is
145 replaced, to be credited toward the next $28 replacement fee.
146 The fees shall be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating

148 years’ payments of the prorated replacement fee if the plate is
149 replaced or surrendered before the end of the 10-year period,
150 except that a credit may be given if a registrant is required by
151 the department to replace a license plate under s.
152 320.08056(8)(a). With each license plate, a validation sticker
153 shall be issued showing the owner’s birth month, license plate
154 number, and the year of expiration or the appropriate renewal
155 period if the owner is not a natural person. The validation
156 sticker shall be placed on the upper right corner of the license
157 plate. The license plate and validation sticker shall be issued
158 based on the applicant’s appropriate renewal period. The
159 registration period is 12 months, the extended registration
160 period is 24 months, and all expirations occur based on the
161 applicant’s appropriate registration period. Rental vehicles

167 each apportioned jurisdiction in which the vehicle is authorized

170 taxes and fees imposed by this chapter, the 80-cent fee increase
171 in the replacement fee imposed by chapter 2009-71, Laws of
172 Florida, is negated as provided in s. 320.0804.
173 (c) Registration license plates equipped with validation
174 stickers subject to the registration period are valid for not
175 more than 12 months and expire at midnight on the last day of
176 the registration period. A registration license plate equipped
177 with a validation sticker subject to the extended registration
178 period is valid for not more than 24 months and expires at
179 midnight on the last day of the extended registration period. A
180 registration license plate equipped with a validation sticker
181 subject to a permanent registration period is permanently valid
182 but shall become void if appropriate license taxes and fees are
183 not paid annually. For each registration period after the one in
184 which the metal registration license plate is issued, and until
185 the license plate is required to be replaced, a validation
186 sticker showing the month and year of expiration shall be issued
187 upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees and is
188 valid for not more than 12 months. For each extended
189 registration period occurring after the one in which the metal
190 registration license plate is issued and until the license plate
191 is required to be replaced, a validation sticker showing the
192 year of expiration shall be issued upon payment of the proper
193 license tax amount and fees and is valid for not more than 24
194 months. For each permanent registration period occurring after
195 the one in which the metal registration license plate is issued
196 and until the license plate is required to be replaced, a
197 validation sticker showing a permanent registration period shall
198 be issued upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees
199 and is permanently valid but shall become void if the proper
200 license taxes and fees are not paid annually. When license
201 plates equipped with validation stickers are issued in any month
202 other than the owner’s birth month or the designated
203 registration period for any other motor vehicle, the effective
204 date shall reflect the birth month or month and the year of
205 renewal. However, when a license plate or validation sticker is
206 issued for a period of less than 12 months, the applicant shall
207 pay the appropriate amount of license tax and the applicable fee
208 under s. 320.14 in addition to all other fees. Validation
209 stickers issued for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(6)(a), for
210 any company that owns 250 vehicles or more, or for semitrailers
211 taxed under the provisions of s. 320.08(5)(a), for any company
212 that owns 50 vehicles or more, may be placed on any vehicle in
213 the fleet so long as the vehicle receiving the validation
214 sticker has the same owner’s name and address as the vehicle to
215 which the validation sticker was originally assigned.
216 (2) The department shall provide the several tax collectors
217 and license plate agents with the necessary number of validation
218 stickers.
219 (3)(a) Registration license plates must be made of metal
220 specially treated with a retroreflection material, as specified
221 by the department. The registration license plate is designed to
222 increase nighttime visibility and legibility and must be at
223 least 6 inches wide and not less than 12 inches in length,
224 unless a plate with reduced dimensions is deemed necessary by
225 the department to accommodate motorcycles, mopeds, or similar
226 smaller vehicles. Validation stickers must also be treated with
227 a retroreflection material, must be of such size as specified by
228 the department, and must adhere to the license plate. The

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

237 320.08(3)(d), (4)(m) or (n), (5)(b) or (c), or (14) must have
238 the word “Restricted” at the bottom. License plates issued for
239 vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(12) must be imprinted with the
240 word “Florida” at the top and the word “Dealer” at the bottom
241 unless the license plate is a specialty license plate as

247 the bottom. Any county may, upon majority vote of the county
248 commission, elect to have the county name removed from the
249 license plates sold in that county. The state motto or the words
250 “Sunshine State” shall be printed in lieu thereof. A license
251 plate issued for a vehicle taxed under s. 320.08(6) may not be
252 assigned a registration license number, or be issued with any
253 other distinctive character or designation, that distinguishes
254 the motor vehicle as a for-hire motor vehicle.
255 (b) An additional fee of 50 cents shall be collected on
256 each motor vehicle registration or motor vehicle renewal
257 registration issued in this state in order for all license
258 plates and validation stickers to be fully treated with
259 retroreflection material. The fee shall be deposited into the
260 Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund.
261 (4) The corporation organized under chapter 946 may
262 manufacture license plates, validation stickers, and decals, as
263 well as temporary tags, disabled hang tags, vessel decals, and
264 fuel use decals, for the Department of Highway Safety and Motor
265 Vehicles as provided in this chapter and chapter 327. The
266 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles is not required
267 to obtain competitive bids in order to contract with the
268 corporation.
269 (5) The department may conduct a pilot program to evaluate
270 the designs, concepts, and technologies for alternative license
271 plates. For purposes of the pilot program, the department shall
272 investigate the feasibility and use of alternative license plate
273 technologies and the long-term cost impact to the consumer. The
274 pilot program shall be limited to license plates that are used
275 on government-owned motor vehicles as described in s. 320.0655.
276 Such license plates are exempt from the requirements in
277 paragraph (3)(a).
278 (6) All license plates issued pursuant to this chapter are
279 the property of the state.
