AN ACT RELATING TO TOWNS AND CITIES-GENERAL POWERS -- NARRAGANSETT LANDING FEES

HB 6347 increases the landing fee for adult passengers (12+) arriving by boat at Narragansett's Port of Galilee from $0.50 to $1.00 per person. The fee applies to public and private boats (excluding commercial fishing vessels) and must be collected by ferry operators or marinas, with 15% of the fee paid to them for collection. Funds collected will support town services like emergency medical care, property acquisition for ferry passengers, and resolving vessel-landing issues. The bill also continues existing rate relief for Interstate Navigation Company until 2002, with specific rules for fund usage.
