Bill > HCR176

This Concurrent Resolution urges the Board of Land and Natural Resources, a state government body responsible for managing public lands and natural resources, to designate harbor agents as official enforcement officers. This designation would empower these agents to enforce parking violations specifically at small boat harbors across the state. The resolution arises from ongoing issues with limited parking at these harbors, where vehicles without proper permits frequently occupy designated spots, and existing enforcement by conservation and resource officers is insufficient due to a shortage of personnel. By appointing harbor agents, who are already present at the harbors, the state aims to improve the enforcement of parking rules and address the problem of illegal parking, which has become a persistent issue despite the low cost of citations.
