Bill > HB05259

This bill requires periodic audits of investigations and enforcement actions related to suspicious deaths and serious injuries occurring on the state's waterways, specifically focusing on incidents that may have been caused by vessel operators who might have been impaired by drugs or alcohol. The purpose of these audits is to enhance boating safety by systematically reviewing how such serious boating accidents are investigated and addressed. By mandating regular reviews of these investigations, the bill aims to improve the state's response to potentially dangerous boating incidents and ensure that proper protocols are being followed when examining suspicious deaths and injuries on waterways. The proposed legislation seeks to create a more comprehensive and effective approach to understanding and preventing boating-related accidents that may be linked to operator impairment.
