Bill > HB293

This bill authorizes the Department of Natural Resources to remove abandoned or sunken recreational vessels that have been left unattended or secured to private apparatuses for more than 60 days, under certain circumstances. The bill requires the Department to consider and document factors such as the vessel's registration status, water accumulation, condition, and mooring equipment when determining if a vessel meets the criteria for being considered abandoned or sunken. The bill also outlines the notification process and disposal options for the Department, and prohibits the use of funds from the Natural Resources Police for these purposes.
