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.

SB 2294 amends Tennessee boating law to increase the minimum safe distance from docks or boat ramps for jet boats carrying passengers for hire. The bill raises the required distance from 50 feet to 75 feet before such boats may exceed no-wake speed. This change directly affects commercial jet boat operators transporting passengers, requiring them to maintain greater separation from shore access points. The amendment modifies Tennessee Code Annotated Title 69, Section 69-9-218(a)(3), to implement this safety adjustment.
