An Act To Prohibit The Unauthorized Mooring Of Watercraft

This bill prohibits securing a watercraft to a mooring owned or leased by someone else without their permission. It directly affects boat owners who use others' moorings without authorization, making it a Class E crime if they refuse to release the boat, leave it unattended, or damage the mooring. Violators must also pay restitution for any financial losses caused to the mooring owner or lessee. Exceptions apply for clearly marked rental moorings (with payment attempts) and emergencies where law enforcement is immediately contacted.
