   12  read:

   14         (1)
   15         (f)1. Upon request by a person who has a developmental
   16  disability, or by a parent or guardian of a child or ward who
   17  has a developmental disability, the capital letter “D” shall be
   18  exhibited on the driver license of a person who has a
   19  developmental disability, as defined in s. 393.063, upon the
   20  payment of an additional $1 fee for the license and if the
   21  person, or his or her parent or legal guardian, presents
   22  sufficient proof that the person has been diagnosed with a
   23  developmental disability by a physician licensed under chapter
   24  458 or chapter 459 as determined by the department.
   25         2. Until a person’s driver license is next renewed, the
   26  person, or his or her parent or legal guardian, may have the
