First Quarter Report, 2008:
Legislation has been filed to phase-in a requirement for boating education. People born after 1991 will be required to have a boating safety certificate to operate a vessel with over 10 HP. This bill has passed the House committee and will soon be considered on the House floor.
A second bill has been filed to toughen the penalties for boating under the influence of alcohol. This also passed the committee but is being blocked for a vote pending changes.

Our legislature is not in session until January 2008, and, up to this point, no boating legislation is planned.
