I will not press the need to expand the amendment to include narrow boats and houseboats.
The amendment defines a houseboat in a particular way.
What will the amendment do for houseboat owners?
That definition of a houseboat might have worked.
It is my understanding that the amendment uses a definition of a houseboat that is implicit in tax law.
In the case of the renovation grants legislation, the purpose is to provide for houseboat owners to receive a grant.
Other definitions of houseboats are available on the statute book.
For example, small yachts may go a long way out to sea, yet many of them are used as houseboats.
