Here is a summary of the new law. “According to HB 949, golf cart drivers under 18 must be at least 15 with a learner's permit or 16 with a driver's license. Anyone who is 18 or older must have a valid government-issued ID. Previously, Florida law allowed a 14-year-old to drive a golf cart.”
Any of the sub-18's need to be accompanied by and adult??
(I don't see here they must)

Not to my knowledge. I’ve read HB 949 numerous times and there is no language requiring an adult accompany a licensed teen driver (under 18 YOA).

Although, in the Villages, apparently every golf-cart-owning disabled person is a special snowflake and parks in them anyway.

But some day, should you ever do that and find yourself with a ticket on your golf score-card clipboard, you'll know why.
A ticket? You’re kidding right?

Whether they're in a golf cart or car a driver with a learner's permit needs to be accompanied by a licensed driver, correct?

Does not appear so. The bill that requires permits does not mention a licensed driver.
