What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill makes a change to a rule promulgated by the Department of Natural
Resources relating to the display of blue lights on boats. The current rule prohibits
the display of a blue light or lamp on a vessel other than a patrol boat, which is a boat
authorized by this state or by a local governmental unit for the purpose of law
enforcement, search and rescue, fire fighting, emergency response, or water safety
operations. Under this bill, only a flashing blue light is prohibited from display on
vessels that are not patrol boats.
