relative to the towing of inflatables by motorboats.

Maddy summaryThis bill updates safety rules for motorboats towing water skiers and inflatable tubes in New Hampshire. It limits the number of people allowed on a single inflatable to six and restricts towing to a maximum of two inflatables at once, while also capping the number of skiers or other devices at two per boat unless a special permit is obtained. To ensure safety, the law requires additional observers on the boat depending on the number of inflatables being towed, with all observers needing to be at least 13 years old. These regulations take effect on August 13, 2024, and apply to anyone operating a motorboat for recreational towing in the state.
