The bill amends several sections of the Florida Statutes related to motor vehicle registration renewal. A significant change is the requirement for renewals to be recorded electronically, replacing the previous system that included the issuance of validation stickers. The bill removes all references to validation stickers, which were previously used to indicate the owner's birth month, license plate number, and expiration year. Instead, the renewal process will now solely rely on electronic records, streamlining the registration process and eliminating the need for physical stickers.

Additionally, the bill makes conforming amendments to various sections to align with these changes, including adjustments to the registration periods for license plates and the fees associated with them. It also clarifies that all license plates issued are the property of the state and introduces a fee for retroreflective treatment of license plates. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
