"Apportioned" at the bottom is the decode: an International Registration Plan vehicle whose fees are divided among the states its fleet actually runs through. The tell-tale detail is the sticker — a month, not the owner's birth month, because fleets have no birthday.

## About this plate

APPORTIONED (International Registration Plan) PLATES. Dating a series by a cycle amendment is the same instrument-date disease as dating it by a statute edition. Still the only Florida plate on a 3-year rather than a 10-year cycle, and the only one whose sticker shows a month rather than the owner's birth month, apportioned vehicles are fleet-registered, so the birth-month scheme cannot apply.

## Replacement

years: 3. statutory text: § 320.06(1)(b)2: 'Beginning July 1, 2024, a vehicle registered in accordance with the International Registration Plan must be issued a license plate for a 3-year period. At the end of the 3-year period, upon renewal, the license plate must be replaced.'. note: a CAB CARD stating the declared gross vehicle weight per apportioned jurisdiction is issued annually, $28 original or renewal; a damaged or worn plate is replaced at no charge on surrender
