Lawmaker wants paddlers to pay

I notice that all he is trying to do is "eliminate an exemption". More doublespeak for a tax that has never existed.

From a practice point of view I think he might have a hard time describing which "vessels" require this NEW type of registration. At our place we have lots of inflatables. A couple of them look like inflatable boats, one is a dragon you ride on, one is a tube with a seat for a toddler. And of course there are a couple of small lounge rafts. Which will require these stickers?

Is this a boat? Will a Marine Patrol officer think it's a boat? What if the kids were holding paddles?
