This is NOT a victory for liveaboards. It just further outlaws living
aboard... not that they have to, the state of Fla has essentially already done
that. It seems they don't want boaters, marinas or marine related business in
this state, other than to serve tourists. If you want to LIVE aboard your boat
in a warm climate, you need to go elsewhere!
Cruisers are not quite as objectionable, because they come, spend money &
leave, like land based tourists. In some parts of Fla, like the Keys, marinas
will tell you they give preference when renting slips to snowbirds & transients
over full-time resident boat owners. This is one of the reasons local boaters
aren't all that welcoming of snowbirds & transients, which is a shame, given
the interesting cruisers we all used to enjoy.

I am not so sure this is "Great News" for all of us on the Live Aboard
List.
Never, ever, admit to being a full time live aboard, you give away what little
rights you have left as a boater.
fwiw
see you in paradise,
