The bill amends section 316.183 of the Florida Statutes, which addresses unlawful speed while driving. The key change is the introduction of an exception to the prohibition against driving at slow speeds. Specifically, the bill allows for compliance with local ordinances regarding the operation of vehicles on flooded or inundated streets, thereby acknowledging the necessity of reduced speeds in such conditions.

In the revised language, the phrase "No person shall drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of traffic" is modified to state that "A person may not drive a motor vehicle at such a slow speed..." This change emphasizes the prohibition while allowing for exceptions when necessary for safe operation or adherence to local laws. The bill is set to take effect upon becoming law.
