Summary

The bill would have the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles department place a special symbol on state identification cards and driver licenses for anyone who holds a lifetime boating safety identification card, and would require license applicants to disclose and submit that card. It also raises criminal penalties for boating while intoxicated, mandates ignition‑interlock devices for certain offenders, and imposes insurance and treatment requirements. The goal is to link boating safety credentials to driver licensing and increase accountability for unsafe boating.
