What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill prohibits the operator of a recreational vessel from carrying a

passenger who is under the age of ten unless, during all times when the vessel is

underway, the passenger is wearing a properly fitting personal flotation device or the

passenger remains below deck or in an enclosed cabin. The bill establishes a

forfeiture of not more than $50 for a first violation and not more than $100 for a

second or subsequent violation. The bill also exempts the imposition of such a

forfeiture from the requirement under current law that a court impose certain court

costs and surcharges when it imposes a forfeiture.
