AI Summary
This bill amends Wisconsin statutes to update regulations on operating a motorboat towing a person on water skis. The key provisions are:
1. It requires motorboats towing a person on water skis to have an additional competent observer in the boat, except for certain small motorboats incapable of carrying an observer.
2. It prohibits water skiing, aquaplaning, or similar activities from sunset to sunrise, but allows municipalities to enact ordinances to further restrict the hours.
3. It allows municipalities to enact ordinances prohibiting motorboats from towing a person on water skis without an observer, if certain conditions are met regarding the local water safety patrol.
4. It makes other changes to the statutes governing municipal ordinances related to boating safety and operations.
