To allow States to require payment of State fees related to boating as a condition for issuance of a vessel number and to collect such fees in conjunction with other fees related to vessel numbering.

Summary

The bill lets each state add its own boating fees—such as for search and rescue, safety measures, or invasive‑species control—to the fee required for a vessel registration number. States may collect these fees together with other registration fees, and the money must be spent on activities that improve recreational boating, safety, access, and waterway health. It amends federal law to give states this authority.
