Why the model tagged it this way: The bill text addresses boating safety education, identification cards, BUI penalties, and vessel homicide. The only substantive policy topic matched is abortion/personhood-ivf via the expansion of vessel homicide to cover an 'unborn child' (defined by cross-reference to the personhood statute s. 775.021(5)(e)) and related conforming changes; all other provisions are outside the listed topics.
