FL S1378

Defines "abandoned vehicle" to include vehicles without proper plates, with mismatched plates, missing registration stickers, or stickers expired for at least 90 days, as well as vehicles showing signs of disuse such as being wrecked, having vegetation growing underneath, or missing major parts

Requires law enforcement to attach a conspicuous notice describing the violation and removal timeframe before towing abandoned vehicles that have been parked for 48+ hours (if inoperative) or 10+ days (if operative)

Creates a new first-degree misdemeanor offense for knowingly operating a motor vehicle with a registration plate or validation sticker not issued to that vehicle, in addition to the existing second-degree misdemeanor for attaching such plates

Establishes that knowledge of improper plates/stickers is satisfied if the person admits knowledge or has previously been charged with the offense, with a rebuttable presumption of knowledge if the driver is the registered owner

Adds fleeing or attempting to elude law enforcement in a motor vehicle (violation of s. 316.1935) as grounds for vehicle seizure and forfeiture under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act
