Florida S1378 amends traffic enforcement laws, defining abandoned vehicles and modifying seizure and removal procedures.

Florida S1378 amends existing statutes to redefine "abandoned vehicle" as one in a state of disuse, neglect, or abandonment. It revises circumstances under which law enforcement officers can remove abandoned vehicles, requiring a notice to be placed on the vehicle before removal. The bill also updates the conditions for seizing vehicles under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act and modifies penalties for operating a vehicle with an unassigned registration license plate or validation sticker.
