All they have to do to keep people from permanently mooring somewhere as No Bozo suggests will happen is add a clause....
A amended law should include the following:
Mooring overnight is allow given the following
1) the vessel has antiquate bathroom facilities,
2) the vessel is not moored in the same general location for more the X number of nights
3) the vessel is moored and a safe a prudent manner based on the prevailing conditions and location

What a burden this would put on the Marine Patrol. Check each of the 500 boats to see if they have a head and are properly anchored. Then keep a list of each boat and its location and the start of its X night. Then watch the musical chairs they all do when X nights is up. And oh by the way do this all at night.
