AI Summary

  • Removes the prohibition on county and municipality regulation of anchoring for non-live-aboard vessels that are not in navigation, outside of marked mooring field boundaries.

  • Eliminates the prior restriction that prevented local governments from regulating the anchoring of "vessels other than live-aboard vessels" and replaces it with a narrower restriction applying only to "non-live-aboard vessels in navigation."

  • Maintains local government authority to prohibit or restrict mooring and anchoring of floating structures and live-aboard vessels within their jurisdictions.

  • Preserves existing prohibitions on local ordinances regarding vessel safety standards, marine sanitation devices, operation on the Florida Intracoastal Waterway, personal watercraft, airboats, and engine noise regulations.

  • Becomes effective upon passage into law.
