summary

This amendment is the minority report of the committee. It makes the motorboat safety education requirement effective January 1, 2014 and makes the requirement apply only to those born after December 31, 2000. It removes the temporary boating safety certificate from the bill and adds licensed Maine guides to those exempt from taking a boating safety course. It also removes the provision that would allow for the establishment of fees to cover the cost of administering the courses.
