Boats, Boating - As enacted, authorizes the establishment of a special temporary, slow no wake zone, if such zone is necessary because of an immediate danger to the public health, environment, safety, or welfare, and the nature of the necessity is such that an emergency rule cannot immediately be sought. - Amends TCA Title 69, Chapter 9.

This bill amends Tennessee's boating regulations by extending the time limit for a specific emergency safety measure from fifteen days to twenty days. The change applies to situations where a temporary slow no wake zone is required due to an immediate danger to public health, safety, or the environment, but an emergency rule cannot be issued quickly enough. By increasing the allowable duration, the law provides authorities with a slightly longer window to maintain these restricted zones when necessary to protect the public.
