Boats, Boating - As introduced, increases, from 50 to 75 feet, the distance a jet boat that carries passengers for hire must be from a private or public dock or boat ramp before the boat may travel at a speed greater than no-wake speed. - Amends TCA Title 69.

HB 2308 amends Tennessee boating law to require jet boats carrying passengers for hire to maintain a minimum distance of 75 feet from docks or boat ramps before exceeding no-wake speed, increasing the current requirement from 50 feet. This directly affects commercial jet boat operators in Tennessee, such as tour or taxi services navigating near shorelines and public access points. The bill updates Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 69, Section 69-9-218(a)(3), to implement this distance change for safety near water access areas. The amendment applies to both public and private docks and boat ramps statewide.
