The bill amends Florida Statutes to update the definitions and regulations concerning the operation of vehicles and vessels. Specifically, it revises the definition of "vehicle" in section 316.003 to include devices that transport or draw persons or property on a street or highway, while excluding personal delivery devices, mobile carriers, and devices used exclusively on stationary rails or tracks. Additionally, it modifies section 316.183 to state that no person shall drive a vehicle on a street or highway at a speed greater than what is reasonable and prudent, emphasizing the need to control speed to avoid collisions.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a new section, 316.88, which prohibits the operation of a motor vehicle, vessel, or other conveyance at a speed that creates an excessive wake on flooded or inundated streets or highways. This aims to enhance safety and protect infrastructure during adverse weather conditions. The act is set to take effect upon becoming law.
