Found this article this morning on the new florida law about live aboard in florida and anchoring. Its a great day for liveaboarder's !!!! I printed the first paragraph and the rest at link.
If this has already been posted sorry, but was excited when read it.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30, 2009 - With the May 27th passage of Florida House Bill 1423, boaters across the state will no longer have to fear a visit from a law enforcement officer advising that their boat has "overstayed" its visit. That's because the recent legislation makes it clear that local municipalities cannot usurp state authority on regulating recreational vessel anchoring. But what's not so clear is who understands the changes, some of which came into effect on July 1 and others are due to take effect October 1, 2009.
