The rafting rules seem to change every few years. I remember a rule about distance from swim lines, but I can't find it online anymore, did it change?

NH has both laws and administrative rules. I'm not a lawyer so this may all be wrong. But I thought that the rules had to based in a law. I can't find where the 150' from shore rules (Saf-C 407.a.2.a and Saf-C 407.a.3.a) come from. There is no mention of distance from shore in any of the rafting laws or definitions of rafting (RSA 270:42, RSA 270:43, RSA 270:44, RSA 270:45, or RSA 270:46)

How can a rule be made to restrict rafting that prohibits an activity that clearly isn't rafting. Maybe some legal eagle will get a rafting ticket someday and fight this.
