Use of personal watercraft allowed earlier in the day.

HF 3384 amends Minnesota law to allow personal watercraft operators to use their vessels starting at 8:00 a.m. instead of the current 9:30 a.m. restriction. This change directly affects recreational boaters who operate personal watercraft on Minnesota waters, extending their permitted operating hours by 90 minutes each morning. The bill modifies Minnesota Statutes § 86B.313, subdivision 1, clause (2), while leaving all other safety requirements - including life jacket rules, speed limits near shorelines, and no-wake zones - unchanged. The amendment aims to provide more flexibility for early-morning water recreation without altering existing safety standards.
