Mississippi Freedom Boater Law; enact.

SB 2745, the "Mississippi Freedom Boater Law," changes how boating safety inspections are enforced. It prohibits officers from stopping or boarding boats solely to check safety equipment (like life jackets), making such violations a secondary offense (only enforceable if another primary offense occurs). Instead, it requires a new "Mississippi Freedom Boater" decal at vessel registration or renewal to prove safety compliance, which must be displayed near the registration decal. This law directly affects boaters (who must obtain the decal) and enforcement officers (who can only board vessels with probable cause for a primary or criminal offense).
