Yet another part of the legislation says the observer must wave a flag when a water skier or tuber falls. No mention how big, what color etc.
Additionally all human powered boats like kayaks, canoes and row boats must have a sound signal device and display a conspicuity flag. Flag makers are going to make a killing!
Also you may not use lights on shore that are similar to boat lights. Looks like Three Mile Island will have to turn off their red and green boathouse lights.
Finally the on-line boating test is gone and you must take an in the water boating test to be certified. (The in the water part may be eliminated before it passes)
The proposed bill will have a lot more impact on every day use of the lake than HB162, yet it is almost unknown.

Are you not one of the proponents of HB162, who strongly wished for a safer Lake?
The informed politicians, thanks to the polls, are answering your wish for a safer Lake and all you can do is complain!?!?!?
