Bill > HB06243

This bill aims to establish a speed limit of ten miles per hour for personal watercraft and motorboats on Lake Mashapaug, located in the town of Union. By amending the general statutes, the legislation seeks to regulate the speed of watercraft on this specific lake, likely to enhance safety for boaters and other lake users. Personal watercraft (such as jet skis) and motorboats will be required to maintain a maximum speed of ten miles per hour while operating on Lake Mashapaug, which suggests the town or local authorities have determined that slower speeds are necessary to prevent accidents, protect wildlife, reduce noise, or preserve the lake's environment. The bill represents a localized approach to water safety, targeting a specific body of water with a defined speed restriction.
