An act relating to prohibiting wake boats on oligotrophic lakes

This bill allows municipalities surrounding oligotrophic lakes in Vermont to prohibit wake boats on those lakes. It creates a modified process for the state's Department of Environmental Conservation to update public water rules when such local bans are enacted. The legislation aims to help protect these nutrient-poor lakes from aquatic invasive species that wake boats might spread. Only the towns bordering these specific lakes would have the authority to implement these restrictions.
