Bill > SB00077

This bill requires the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) to conduct patrols of all major lakes within the state during the boating season. The purpose of these patrols is to enhance safety for residents who use these lakes, likely focusing on monitoring boating activities, ensuring compliance with water safety regulations, and potentially preventing accidents or responding quickly to emergencies. By mandating these patrols, the bill aims to provide increased oversight and protection for boaters and other lake users during the primary recreational boating months. The legislation appears to be a proactive measure to improve public safety on the state's major lakes by increasing the presence and monitoring capabilities of law enforcement and environmental protection officials during peak boating periods.
