relative to penalties for the negligent or reckless operation of boats.

HB 1366 establishes new penalties for operating a power boat recklessly or in a way that endangers public safety. The bill classifies such behavior as a misdemeanor and mandates specific punishments for violators, including a fine of at least $500, a 60-day suspension of their driver's license, and a 60-day ban on operating a boat during the summer season. This legislative change directly affects anyone who operates a boat in the state and aims to deter negligent boating through these concrete enforcement measures.
