The bill amends section 316.212 of the Florida Statutes to authorize the operation of golf carts for the purpose of crossing certain highways under specific conditions. A new subsection (9) is added, allowing golf carts to cross highways with five lanes or more at signalized intersections, provided that the Department of Transportation has approved the crossing's location and design. The conditions for crossing include a speed limit of 35 miles per hour or less on the perpendicular roadway, the presence of exclusive left-turn and right-turn lanes, and an appropriate angle of intersection. Additionally, counties or municipalities are required to post signs indicating that golf cart operation is permitted at these crossings.

Furthermore, the bill mandates that individuals must obtain a permit from the relevant county or municipality to operate a golf cart at these crossings. The existing subsection (10) is renumbered and amended to include violations of the new subsection (9) as a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
