It duplicates existing regulations like the 14-day rule and ALAs, and will only lead to widespread confusion for officers and boaters alike. 

There’s also nowhere for these boats to go—Florida lacks adequate slips and moorings. 

This bill will scatter vessels into small towns that don’t have the resources to manage them. 

We already have laws in place to deal with derelict boats. The problem isn’t a lack of rules—it’s a lack of enforcement. 

SB 481 punishes the wrong people. 

Please veto this bill.
