Relating to: registration requirements for nonmotorized boats. (FE)
AB 977 modifies registration requirements for nonmotorized boats that aren't sailboats. It creates a new rule requiring registration for such boats operated within "vehicle admission areas" (areas requiring vehicle entry fees, like some public parks). The bill also removes specific registration fees for non-sail nonmotorized boats from certain fee calculations. This directly affects recreational boaters using non-sail, nonmotorized boats in designated public water areas with vehicle admission fees.
