HB 2511 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to boats and boating, further providing for registrations, licenses, permits, plates and statistics.

This bill grants the Pennsylvania Commission on Game and Fisheries the authority to create and update rules regarding boat registrations, licenses, permits, and safety plates. It specifically covers procedures for transferring boat ownership, managing passenger-carrying vessels, and collecting accident statistics. A key provision explicitly prohibits the commission from requiring permits or registrations for non-motorized boats in any state park, forest, or waterway. The legislation also establishes penalty levels for violations, such as operating a passenger boat without a license or failing to display required identification numbers.
