JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Florida drivers could soon see a change when it comes to vehicle registration stickers.<\/p>\n
A new proposal would eliminate the need to make the trip to the DMV for that yellow decal.<\/p>\n
State Representative Tom Fabricio, R-Miami Lakes, is sponsoring a bill that would remove the need to have a physical sticker. <\/p>\n
He said the idea for the proposal was brought to him by the Miami-Dade County Tax Collector as a way to reduce burdens on drivers.<\/p>\n

Fabricio said.<\/p>\n Fabricio said that law enforcement can verify registration electronically, making the sticker unnecessary. <\/p>\n \u201cMost police officers that I\u2019ve spoken with have told me that there is really no need to look at the sticker when license tags are run by the police officer, when they are stopping a vehicle,\u201d Fabricio said.<\/p>\n He also said that this would help reduce fraud and theft of stolen decals.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a measure that one local driver is on board with.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no need for the sticker, I believe,\u201d Jacob Reed said.<\/p>\n But another driver Action News Jax talked with said he likes the way things currently are.<\/p>\n \u201cIt comes in the mail on time,\u201d Craig James said. \u201cIt\u2019s never delayed.\u201d<\/p>\n Under the proposal, drivers would still be required to follow registration and renewal rules.<\/p>\n This proposal will be taken up during the 2026 legislative session.<\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: <\/b>Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/b><\/a>]<\/b><\/p>\n [SIGN UP: <\/b>Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/b><\/a>] <\/b><\/p>\n Click here<\/b><\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and <\/b>click here<\/b><\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/b><\/p>\n Action News Jax Top Stories<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Florida drivers could soon see a change when it comes to vehicle registration stickers.
