The proposed bill, titled the "Lilly Glaubach Act," aims to enhance motor vehicle safety regulations in Florida. It mandates that all vehicles required to be licensed in the state must display license plates on both the front and rear. Additionally, it introduces new requirements for motor vehicle repair shops, stipulating that they must request a written crash report from customers when repair costs exceed $2,500. If a customer fails to provide this report, the repair shop must submit a finalized repair estimate to a database maintained by the Department of Law Enforcement within three business days. The bill also allows the department to revoke a repair shop's registration if it violates these provisions.

Key amendments include the replacement of "shall" with "must" in various sections to emphasize compliance, and the addition of specific items that must be included in written repair estimates, such as the vehicle identification number and a detailed description of the customer's problem. The bill also reenacts several sections of Florida Statutes to incorporate these changes, ensuring consistency across related laws. The effective date for most provisions is set for January 1, 2026, while the act itself is slated to take effect on July 1, 2025.
