       Senator Bean moved the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Delete everything after the enacting clause
    4  and insert:
    5         Section 1. Effective July 1, 2021, paragraphs (b) and (c)
    6  of subsection (1) of section 320.06, Florida Statutes, are
    7  amended to read:
    8         320.06 Registration certificates, license plates, and
    9  validation stickers generally.—
   10         (1)
   11         (b)1. Registration license plates bearing a graphic symbol
   12  and the alphanumeric system of identification shall be issued
   13  for a 10-year period. At the end of the 10-year period, upon
   14  renewal, the plate shall be replaced. The department shall
   15  extend the scheduled license plate replacement date from a 6
   16  year period to a 10-year period. The fee for such replacement is
   17  $28, $2.80 of which shall be paid each year before the plate is
   18  replaced, to be credited toward the next $28 replacement fee.
   19  The fees shall be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating
   20  Trust Fund. A credit or refund may not be given for any prior
   21  years’ payments of the prorated replacement fee if the plate is
   22  replaced or surrendered before the end of the 10-year period,
   23  except that a credit may be given if a registrant is required by
   24  the department to replace a license plate under s.
   25  320.08056(8)(a). With each license plate, a validation sticker
   26  shall be issued showing the owner’s birth month, license plate
   27  number, and the year of expiration or the appropriate renewal
   28  period if the owner is not a natural person. The validation
   29  sticker shall be placed on the upper right corner of the license
   30  plate. The license plate and validation sticker shall be issued
   31  based on the applicant’s appropriate renewal period. The
   32  registration period is 12 months, the extended registration
   33  period is 24 months, and all expirations occur based on the
   34  applicant’s appropriate registration period. Vehicles taxed
   35  pursuant to s. 320.08(6)(a) may elect a permanent registration
   36  period, provided payment of the appropriate license taxes and
   37  fees occurs annually. A vehicle that has an apportioned
   38  registration shall be issued an annual license plate and a cab
   39  card that denote the declared gross vehicle weight for each
   40  apportioned jurisdiction in which the vehicle is authorized to
   41  operate.
   42         2. In order to retain the efficient administration of the
   43  taxes and fees imposed by this chapter, the 80-cent fee increase
   44  in the replacement fee imposed by chapter 2009-71, Laws of
   45  Florida, is negated as provided in s. 320.0804.
   46         (c) Registration license plates equipped with validation
   47  stickers subject to the registration period are valid for not
   48  more than 12 months and expire at midnight on the last day of
   49  the registration period. A registration license plate equipped
   50  with a validation sticker subject to the extended registration
   51  period is valid for not more than 24 months and expires at
   52  midnight on the last day of the extended registration period. A
   53  registration license plate equipped with a validation sticker
   54  subject to a permanent registration period is permanently valid
   55  but shall become void if appropriate license taxes and fees are
   56  not paid annually. For each registration period after the one in
   57  which the metal registration license plate is issued, and until
   58  the license plate is required to be replaced, a validation
   59  sticker showing the month and year of expiration shall be issued
   60  upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees and is
   61  valid for not more than 12 months. For each extended
   62  registration period occurring after the one in which the metal
   63  registration license plate is issued and until the license plate
   64  is required to be replaced, a validation sticker showing the
   65  year of expiration shall be issued upon payment of the proper
   66  license tax amount and fees and is valid for not more than 24
   67  months. For each permanent registration period occurring after
   68  the one in which the metal registration license plate is issued
   69  and until the license plate is required to be replaced, a
   70  validation sticker showing a permanent registration period shall
   71  be issued upon payment of the proper license tax amount and fees
   72  and is permanently valid but shall become void if the proper
   73  license taxes and fees are not paid annually. When license
   74  plates equipped with validation stickers are issued in any month
   75  other than the owner’s birth month or the designated
   76  registration period for any other motor vehicle, the effective
   77  date shall reflect the birth month or month and the year of
   78  renewal. However, when a license plate or validation sticker is
   79  issued for a period of less than 12 months, the applicant shall
   80  pay the appropriate amount of license tax and the applicable fee
   81  under s. 320.14 in addition to all other fees. Validation
   82  stickers issued for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(6)(a), for
   83  any company that owns 250 vehicles or more, or for semitrailers
   84  taxed under the provisions of s. 320.08(5)(a), for any company
   85  that owns 50 vehicles or more, may be placed on any vehicle in
   86  the fleet so long as the vehicle receiving the validation
   87  sticker has the same owner’s name and address as the vehicle to
   88  which the validation sticker was originally assigned.
   89         Section 2. Paragraph (a) of subsection (3) of section
   90  320.06, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
   91         320.06 Registration certificates, license plates, and
   92  validation stickers generally.—
   93         (3)(a) Registration license plates must be made of metal
   94  specially treated with a retroreflection material, as specified
   95  by the department. The registration license plate is designed to
   96  increase nighttime visibility and legibility and must be at
   97  least 6 inches wide and not less than 12 inches in length,
   98  unless a plate with reduced dimensions is deemed necessary by
   99  the department to accommodate motorcycles, mopeds, or similar
  100  smaller vehicles. Validation stickers must also be treated with
  101  a retroreflection material, must be of such size as specified by
  102  the department, and must adhere to the license plate. The
  103  registration license plate must be imprinted with a combination
  104  of bold letters and numerals or numerals, not to exceed seven
  105  digits, to identify the registration license plate number. The
  106  license plate must be imprinted with the word “Florida” at the
  107  top and the name of the county in which it is sold, the state
  108  motto, or the words “Sunshine State” at the bottom. Apportioned
  109  license plates must have the word “Apportioned” at the bottom
  110  and license plates issued for vehicles taxed under s.
  111  320.08(3)(d), (4)(m) or (n), (5)(b) or (c), or (14) must have
  112  the word “Restricted” at the bottom. License plates issued for
  113  vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(12) must be imprinted with the
  114  word “Florida” at the top and the word “Dealer” at the bottom
  115  unless the license plate is a specialty license plate as
  116  authorized in s. 320.08056. Manufacturer license plates issued
  117  for vehicles taxed under s. 320.08(12) must be imprinted with
  118  the word “Florida” at the top and the word “Manufacturer” at the
  119  bottom. License plates issued for vehicles taxed under s.
  120  320.08(5)(d) or (e) must be imprinted with the word “Wrecker” at
  121  the bottom. Any county may, upon majority vote of the county
  122  commission, elect to have the county name removed from the
  123  license plates sold in that county. The state motto or the words
  124  “Sunshine State” shall be printed in lieu thereof. A license
  125  plate issued for a vehicle taxed under s. 320.08(6) may not be
  126  assigned a registration license number, or be issued with any
  127  other distinctive character or designation, that distinguishes
  128  the motor vehicle as a for-hire motor vehicle.
  129         Section 3. Paragraph (b) of subsection (2) of section
  130  320.0657, Florida Statutes, is amended to read:
  131         320.0657 Permanent registration; fleet license plates.—
  132         (2)
  133         (b) The plates, which shall be of a distinctive color,
  134  shall have the word “Fleet” appearing at the bottom and the word
  135  “Florida” appearing at the top unless the license plate is a
  136  specialty license plate as authorized in s. 320.08056. The
  137  plates shall conform in all respects to the provisions of this
  138  chapter, except as specified herein. For additional fees as set
  139  forth in s. 320.08056, fleet companies may purchase specialty
  140  license plates in lieu of the standard fleet license plates.
  141  Fleet companies shall be responsible for all costs associated
  142  with the specialty license plate, including all annual use fees,
  143  processing fees, fees associated with switching license plate
  144  types, and any other applicable fees.
  145         Section 4. Subsection (12) of section 320.08, Florida
  146  Statutes, is amended to read:
  147         320.08 License taxes.—Except as otherwise provided herein,

  149  operation of motor vehicles, mopeds, motorized bicycles as

  161  plate, including all annual use fees, processing fees, fees
  162  associated with switching license plate types, and any other
  163  applicable fees.
  164         Section 5. Section 320.08053, Florida Statutes, is amended
  165  to read:
  166         320.08053 Establishment of Requirements for requests to
  167  establish specialty license plates.—
  168         (1) If a specialty license plate requested by an
  169  organization is approved by law, the organization must submit
  170  the proposed art design for the specialty license plate to the
  171  department, in a medium prescribed by the department, as soon as
  172  practicable, but no later than 60 days after the act approving
  173  the specialty license plate becomes a law.
  174         (2)(a) Within 120 days after following the specialty
  175  license plate becomes becoming law, the department shall
  176  establish a method to issue a specialty license plate voucher to
  177  allow for the presale of the specialty license plate. The

  179  and branch fee as prescribed in s. 320.04, and the annual use

  182  of issuance of the license plates.
  183         (b) Within 24 months after the presale specialty license
  184  plate voucher is established, the approved specialty license
  185  plate organization must record with the department a minimum of
  186  3,000 1,000 voucher sales, or in the case of an out-of-state
  187  college or university license plate, 4,000 voucher sales, before
  188  manufacture of the license plate may commence. If, at the
  189  conclusion of the 24-month presale period, the minimum sales

  191  plate is deauthorized and the department shall discontinue
  192  development of the plate and discontinue issuance of the presale
  193  vouchers. Upon deauthorization of the license plate, a purchaser
  194  of the license plate voucher may use the annual use fee

  205  qualified specialty license plate that has met the presale
  206  requirement. The department shall cycle through the list in

  211  sufficient number of plates are discontinued pursuant to s.
  212  320.08056(8) such that the number of plates being issued does
  213  not exceed 150. Notwithstanding s. 320.08056(8)(a), the 150

  215  sales threshold and those exempt from that threshold.
