What it does

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 (NRC) 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.
