HB 1049 -- Watercraft Regulation

Sponsor:  Cooper (155)

Every vessel operating on the waters of the state is required to
be numbered.  This bill triples the fee which is to accompany
each application for a certificate of number.  Two-thirds of the
fee will be deposited into the Missouri State Water Patrol Fund
and used exclusively for the State Water Patrol.

The bill also allows property owners located on a cove on the
Lake of the Ozarks the option of having their cove designated by
the State Water Patrol as an idle speed, no wake cove.  The idle
speed, no wake restriction would apply to vessels 26 feet in
length or longer on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays
from the Friday preceding Memorial Day through Labor Day.
