Florida license plate frame law’s confusion forces state to clarify the rules

Clickorlando.com and 1 more

Florida residents can use license plate frames as long as the alphanumeric characters and the top-right decal remain visible, preserving core identifiers.
Penalty changes now treat improper frame obscurity as a second-degree misdemeanor under the Oct. 1 statute update.
Enforcement guidance varies by agency, with some police departments warning that even small frame obstructions can trigger stops and citations.
A 2019 appellate ruling informs that bottom-plate text like state-website names is not a primary feature and may be permissible if non-interfering.
Law enforcement is urged to seek agency counsel for additional guidance amid ongoing rule interpretation.
Central Florida saw multiple citations shortly after Oct. 1 rule changes, highlighting wider confusion about compliant frames.
State-issued warnings noted that new penalties apply to frame obstructions that interfere with the plate’s primary features.
Different agencies (e.g., Ocoee PD and Volusia County Sheriff) presented mixed views on what constitutes a violation.
Official guidance emphasizes the top-right decal and plate numbers must remain readable for a frame to be compliant.
Analysts caution that the statute’s vague language may incentivize careful framing to avoid potential penalties.
