Modifies the use of fees from watercraft certifications

Summary

SB 1503 repeals the current watercraft registration fee statute and rewrites it so that every fee collected for vessel certification after August 28 2026 is deposited into the Water Patrol Division Fund instead of the state’s general revenue fund. The change affects boat owners who must register their vessels and provides dedicated funding for the Water Patrol Division. The goal is to ensure that watercraft fees are used exclusively for patrol operations.
