Summary

The bill would make anyone being towed by a motorboat wear a personal flotation device, require boats on inland lakes to travel counter‑clockwise when possible, limit night‑time towing to distressed vessels, and mandate a red or orange flag when a towed person enters the water. It targets recreational boaters and water‑sport operators to improve safety on Indiana’s inland lakes.
