Requires certain safety devices at public boat launches
This bill requires owners of public boat launches in the state to maintain two specific safety devices on-site: (1) a ring buoy or life preserver with at least 500 feet of line on a reel, and (2) an anchored life-belt device with at least 500 feet of line on a reel. It directly affects public boat launch operators, mandating these equipment standards to improve water safety. The commissioner of parks will create rules to enforce these requirements. The law takes effect 90 days after enactment, with necessary rule changes allowed immediately.
