AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Florida's motor vehicle laws, including requiring the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV) to create a secure online portal for tracking seized license plates, allowing disabled veterans to keep their unique license plate designations when renewing or transferring plates, and enabling applications for disabled parking permits to be made at the tax collector's office. It also prohibits the use of covers, films, or overlays that obscure or alter license plates, mandates that tax collectors fulfill online renewals and replacements for driver licenses and identification cards, and ensures that the DHSMV remits a service fee to tax collectors for these online transactions. Additionally, the bill conforms existing provisions to these changes and sets an effective date of July 1, 2026.
