For those wo thought MP was underfunded, and/or those who were concewrned about milfoil killing their pond or cove, te new refund form gives two new options. You can designate all or part of your refund to go to the Navigation Safety Fund, and/or to the Lake Preservation and Restoration fund for milfoil eradication. Some legislators wanted to raise boat registrtaion fees to boost these funds. At least this way, you get to tell the gov't where to allocate the $$, or you can still just ask for the refund.

The quarterly filing change was intendedto be consistent with filing requirements for major users of off road fuel (e.g. construction equipmrent) and recreational users got caught up in the change.

If your boat is on a trailer aand you fill up at a regular gas station, you can still get a refund. The applications are audited, so stop the pump and fill your boat tank separately. They might question using 400 gallons a season in your 20hp outboard.
