Second Quarter Report, 2009:

 

Two boating-safety-related bills are presently being considered by the Legislature:

 

House Bill 5289 increases the penalty for persons under 21 years of age who operate boats under the influence of alcohol.  It was amended 7 May and held after passage.  It has not gone to the Senate.

 

Senate Bill 493 eliminates the requirement of a bell on Class 2 and class 3 boats, to bring state law into conformance with Federal requirements.  The Senate passed it on 12 March and sent it to the House.  On 8 April the House committee "continued" consideration.
