AI Summary
- Redefines "live-aboard" in Georgia's coastal marshlands law to require the vessel be capable of safe, mechanically propelled navigation under average coastal wind and current conditions, and be located at a marina or department-established mooring area
- Extends the allowable period for occupying a live-aboard in coastal marshlands from 30 days to 90 days per calendar year before a permit is required, with written extensions still available from the commissioner beyond that period
- Removes the previous broad definition of live-aboards that included houseboats, floating homes, and other floating structures used for habitation
- Excludes live-aboards (as newly defined) from the definition of "structure" under Georgia's tidewater protection and navigable waterway laws, replacing the prior exclusion for "vessels capable of navigation tied up at marinas"
