Official summary

Official text — shown in English exactly as published by the official source. The official text controls.

The act implements the recommendation of the department of regulatory agencies' sunset review and report in continuing the registration program for vessels until September 1, 2036. The act also makes changes to definitions of 'vessel' and adds a definition of 'vessel livery'. Current law requires that the records of a vessel livery related to hired vessels be preserved for at least 30 days after the vessel is to be returned to the vessel livery. The act extends this period to 3 years after the vessel is to be returned to the vessel livery. Current law provides that an individual who violates provisions related to the minimum age of motorboat operators is subject to a fine of $100. The act changes 'individual' to 'person'. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)

The fingerprint does not cover our retrieval date (the “Data as of” stamp in the source line): re-fetching unchanged official content produces the same fingerprint, while any change to the official content changes it.

If you recompute the fingerprint from the official source and get a different value, one of us is out of date — please report it through the corrections log.
