ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 A proposal to do away with those yellow registration stickers on Florida license plates is moving through the state legislature.<\/p>\n
The measure would replace the physical decals with a digital system for recording vehicle renewals.<\/p>\n
Officials in Miami-Dade estimate the shift to a paperless system could save the county tax collector\u2019s office approximately $2.5 million a year. <\/p>\n
The proposal comes as license plate readers have become more common, allowing police to verify vehicle registration without relying on visual stickers.<\/p>\n
The proposal is currently advancing through the legislative committee process. <\/p>\n
It has already cleared multiple hurdles as lawmakers consider the shift toward a fully digital registration database for the state\u2019s millions of drivers.<\/p>\n
The bill has one more committee stop scheduled before it can be heard on the House floor. <\/p>\n
If approved there, it will move forward in the legislative process for final consideration.<\/p>\n
