- About this plate
- MANUFACTURER PLATES. 21, Laws of Florida (underline-coded in the chapter law; approved by the Governor 8 June 1999, effective upon becoming law per s. 319). Its own series and not a variant of the dealer plate because the statute draws the distinction itself, in adjacent sentences, and because only the Dealer legend may be displaced by a specialty design.
