Bill > HB2531

This bill amends Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to provide for at-risk, derelict, and abandoned boats, and to impose penalties. It defines key terms such as "abandoned boat," "at-risk boat," and "derelict boat," and outlines the process for investigating, notifying owners, and taking action on these types of boats. The bill authorizes municipalities and law enforcement agencies to investigate and collaborate with the commission on addressing at-risk, derelict, and abandoned boats within their jurisdictions. It also allows for the recovery of costs incurred by municipalities, law enforcement agencies, and the commission in removing or storing these boats. Additionally, the bill grants the commission the authority to adopt rules and regulations related to the transfer of ownership or interest in these boats.
