The bill amends Florida Statutes to enhance water access facilities by introducing new provisions for Clean Marine Manufacturer facilities and establishing competitive grant programs. Specifically, it adds the designation of "Clean Marine Manufacturer" to the existing Clean Marina Program under section 253.0346, allowing these facilities to benefit from a 10% discount on annual lease fees and waivers on extended-term lease surcharges, provided they maintain their designation and comply with lease terms.

Additionally, the bill amends section 327.47 to include competitive grant programs for the construction and maintenance of publicly owned parking for boat-hauling vehicles and trailers, alongside existing initiatives for boat ramps, piers, docks, and boater education. The commission is tasked with developing and administering these grant programs, which are funded through specific financial transfers. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
