Fat Jack....

For being one of the most educated people , again, you got your information wrong. HB-1624 came out of the transportation committee with 13-0 vote with a recomendation of passage. It is expected to pass the full house.

From the House Journal:

HB 1624-FN, relative to boat noise. OUGHT TO PASS WITH AMENDMENT

Rep. Stephen H. Nedeau for Transportation: Currently the method used for testing boat noise is at 50 feet. This is very impractical and difficult to enforce. The bill would allow a second testing procedure SAEJ2005. This test would be performed at four feet, not 50 feet, from the rear of the boat making it more practical to enforce the boat noise statute. The bill also increases the fines.

It seems to me Skip was absolutely correct in that HB-1624 allows a second form of noise testing as the background for the Bill as presented in the OFFICIAL House calendar says: The bill would allow a second testing procedure SAEJ2005
