Bill > HB2398

This bill mandates that owners of watercraft who rent them out in Arizona must carry a commercial boat liability policy with specific minimum coverage amounts: $25,000 for injury or death to one person, $50,000 for injury or death to multiple people in one accident, and $20,000 for property damage in one accident. This insurance must be primary, meaning it's the first to pay out in case of a claim, and must be maintained at all times the watercraft is rented or operated. The bill also allows the commission (likely referring to a state agency like the Game and Fish Department) to require proof of this insurance and outlines penalties for non-compliance, including a class 3 misdemeanor for renting without insurance and a class 1 misdemeanor if the watercraft is involved in an accident. Additionally, the bill makes minor technical changes to existing law regarding record-keeping for boat liveries and the language used in statutes.
