What’s in it
This bill relates to registration requirements for certain vessels. Under current law, vessels of any length without a motor shall pay to a county recorder a registration fee of $12 in order for the vessel to be issued an identification number. A vessel may not be used on the waters of this state that are under the jurisdiction of the natural resource commission without an identification number. Current law exempts conventional design canoes and kayak type vessels that are feet or less in length from the numbering and registration requirements.
Read the full explanation
The bill increases the registration fee for vessels of any length without a motor to $20. Additionally, the bill lowers the length for which canoe and kayak type vessels may be exempt from numbering and registration requirements to feet or less. A person who uses a canoe or kayak type vessel more than feet in length on waters under the commission’s jurisdiction without registering the vessel as required by the bill shall be punished by a scheduled fine of $30.
