Florida's latest law strengthens boater responsibility
The tragic death of a Florida teenager in a boating accident has led to the creation of Lucy's Law, which aims to enhance safety regulations on waterways statewide. Lucy's family pushed for these reforms following her untimely passing in 2022. The law introduces stricter penalties for boaters, such as felony charges for fleeing accidents resulting in injury or death, along with penalties for misleading authorities and boating under the influence. By requiring most boaters operating powerful engines to be safety certified, Lucy's Law seeks to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future. Watch the accompanying video below to learn more about the implications of these new boating regulations for you.
