Are you talking about a different class of boat?
And what would good does that do if they didn't log the event, but had a macerator and just opened the valve and pumped away??? Having lived in Fla twice is was not my observation that the locals were too concerned about rules/laws if they thought there was any way to get away with it and not be caught.

Correct; however, blue-green algae has invaded much of Florida's East Coast waters—fresh and salt.
A "pump-out logbook" is now part of
Martin County's new regulations regarding their ocean-connected waterways. One's overnight presence is recorded by the MP and you'll be fined for not having appropriate pump-outs stamped in a logbook. My understanding is that Monroe County has also enlisted the MPs in pump-out records, but there may be others.
"Liveaboards", cruisers and cruising sailboats
anchored near shorelines are the targeted "class".
I'm reading that North Carolina has announced similar regulations.
