Florida House Votes to Scrap Yellow Registration Stickers on License Plates
Bill backed by DeSantis passes 93-17 but has not moved in the Senate
WHAT HAPPENED: The Florida House approved HB 841, a bill backed by Gov. Ron DeSantis, by a 93-17 vote Wednesday to eliminate the requirement that drivers place yellow registration decals on their license plates.
WHAT IT MEANS: Treasure Coast drivers — including the snowbirds and seasonal residents who renew Florida registrations each year — would no longer need to affix a sticker to their plate. Vehicle registration renewals would still be required; the process would simply be recorded electronically rather than marked with a physical decal.
WHO IS AFFECTED: All Florida vehicle owners who currently display annual registration stickers, including residents of Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties.
WHAT WE DON'T KNOW: The bill has not moved in the Florida Senate, meaning its path to becoming law remains unclear. No Senate companion bill activity was referenced in the source material.
WHAT TO WATCH: Whether the Senate takes up a companion measure before the legislative session ends. Without Senate action, the bill will not reach the governor's desk this session.
