15C-16.001 Scope and Authority
This chapter governs the administration of electronic temporary
registrations (ETR) and related requirements for motor vehicles
under Chapter 320, F.S. It is promulgated and will be administered
by the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (“the Department”).
The department shall implement a secure print-on-demand electronic
temporary license plate registration, record retention, and issue
system for use by every department-authorized issuer of temporary
license plates. The department may provide exemptions as may be
feasibly required.
If a licensed dealer fails to comply with the department's
requirements for issuing temporary license plates using the electronic
system, the department may deny, suspend, or revoke a license under
s. 320.27(9)(b)16
upon proof that the licensee has failed to comply with the department's
requirements.
15C-16.002 Data Security
All information communicated via ETR providers and the department
must, at a minimum, be encrypted using a secure sockets layer (SSL)
protocol with 128-bit encryption.
15C-16.003 Exemptions
- Trailers less than 2,000 lbs. gross vehicle weight (GVW)
do not require the seller to be licensed for commercial sale and
are therefore exempt from electronic temporary registration requirements.
- To ensure the continuation of operations with the least negative
impact to temporary plate issuers when system outages occur, a
backup issuance method using pre-assigned stock will be authorized
by the department. The issuance of a plate using this method must
be reported to the department within 24 hours of the issuance
of the plate. Every issuer shall keep a record of any temporary
tag issued by this method. The record will include, but is not
limited to: date of issuance, tag number issued, the name and
address of the motor vehicle purchaser, vehicle identification
number, vehicle description, and reason for off-line issuance.
15C-16.004 Record Retention
Any person or entity authorized to issue electronic temporary
registrations shall maintain all records relating to their issuance
for a period of 5 years, and such records shall be open to inspection
by the department or its agents during reasonable business hours.
Specific Authority 320.96 FS. Law Implemented 320.131, 320.96
FS. History — New.
