BOATS/BOATING: Provides for registration of certain boats. (8/1/26)
Signed by the Governor. Becomes Act No. 388.
Summary
The law revises the state’s boat registration statutes. When a motorboat, houseboat, or sailboat changes owners, the new owner must file a fresh application, pay a $5 filing fee plus the regular registration fee, and receive a new three‑year certificate and decal. It also lets owners of boats whose registration has been expired for at least five years apply for a new certificate if they prove they gave notice to the prior holder and have possessed the boat for a year.
