Definition of an adult operator of a motorboat modified.
HF 3552 amends Minnesota law to gradually adjust the age requirement for being defined as an "adult operator" of a motorboat. The bill changes the definition so that operators must be born on or after specific dates: July 1, 2004 (effective 2025), July 1, 2000 (2026), July 1, 1996 (2027), and July 1, 1987 (2028). This means the minimum age to operate a motorboat without additional supervision increases incrementally over time. The change directly affects motorboat operators in Minnesota who must meet these birth date requirements based on the effective year.
