Boating Safety

Summary

The bill requires the Department of Highway Safety to place a special symbol on state identification cards and driver’s licenses for anyone who holds a lifetime boating safety identification card, and to ask license applicants to provide that card. It also raises criminal penalties for leaving the scene of a boating accident, boating‑under‑influence manslaughter, and other serious navigation violations, and adds requirements such as ignition‑interlock devices and mandatory insurance for certain offenders. The changes are intended to improve boating safety and accountability.
