The ideas in this bill all sound pretty good to me! Some of the wording may need a bit of tweaking; for instance, larger boats often use a split white light with the forwaed-facing light having a 240 degree coverage and a transom-mounted stern light with 120 degree coverage rather than an all-around light on a pole. But, the idea of an orange light added to the mix would really help in differentiating a boat's stern light from somebody's porch light!

As for Braun Bay and the West Alton sand bar, it sounds as though the commissioner has the authority to designate them as swimming areas. No problemo!
