Bill > SB301

This bill requires the State Marine Board to conduct a comprehensive study on boat safety, focusing on issues related to the safe operation of motorboats. The board is mandated to prepare and submit a detailed report to the appropriate interim committees of the Legislative Assembly by September 15, 2026. The report may include specific recommendations for potential legislation to improve boat safety. The study and reporting requirement will automatically expire on January 2, 2027, meaning the board's obligation will cease after submitting its findings. This temporary directive suggests the legislature wants a focused, time-limited examination of boat safety issues to inform potential future policy or regulatory changes. The bill uses standard legislative language, such as referencing ORS 192.245 (a statute likely related to public reporting), and follows a typical sunset provision that automatically terminates the study mandate after a set period.
