What’s in it

This bill relates to the regulation of vessels and equipment on public lakes. Notwithstanding existing laws to the contrary, the bill allows a common interest community that is adjacent to or abutting a public lake to establish policies for the common interest community’s owners, and the owners’ guests, regarding the operation of vessels, including but not limited to equipment specification, upon the public lake. The bill allows the common interest community to utilize private buoys and other safety-related installations to communicate the relevant policies if the use is not inconsistent with Code chapter 462A (water navigation regulations) or rules adopted by the natural resource commission.
