Local Administration of Vessel Restrictions

Summary

The bill lets counties and municipalities adopt ordinances that let code enforcement officers handle derelict‑vessel and long‑term anchoring permits, but those ordinances must be reviewed and approved by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It also expands local authority to create specific boating‑restricted zones with speed and wake limits, requiring clear markers and commission oversight. Penalties are set as non‑criminal infractions.
