The bill amends Florida Statutes to authorize the operation of golf carts for crossing certain streets and highways under specific conditions. A new subsection (5) is added to section 316.212, allowing golf carts to cross at signalized intersections if the intersection is within a single local governmental entity, which has designated the crossing and posted appropriate signage. Additionally, the bill renumbers existing subsections and makes conforming amendments to various sections, including the penalties for violations of these provisions.

The bill also updates several sections related to the operation of golf carts within retirement communities and municipalities, ensuring compliance with safety requirements and local ordinances. It clarifies that golf carts must meet specific equipment standards and allows local governments to enact ordinances regarding golf cart operation on sidewalks. Furthermore, it mandates that commercial sellers of miniature motorcycles display notices about their legal restrictions on public roads and sidewalks. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
