This is actually lenient in compares to other states. Where I have a surf boat with ballast bags in other states you are requires to stop at a pumping station and fully fill and flush your ballast system individually with hot water. Also requires inspection from marine patrol.
This typically takes an hour or so. So when you're done with your day you have another hour or so to upkeep the law. Luckily some boat manufacturers are installing filters before their tanks to eliminate the chance of zebra mussels and other aquatic life from being spread. Like LIforrelaxin said I usually try to get every drop of water I can out of the boat if it is out of the water to avoid mold and mildew!
