What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, each boat must have on it a personal flotation device for each

person riding in or on the boat. Under this bill, a person may not operate a

recreational boat that is less than 26 feet in length unless, during the time the boat

is under way, every person on the boat who is 12 years old or younger is wearing a

personal flotation device or is in a cabin space or below the deck.
