AI Summary
This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Section 69-9-218(a)(3), to increase the minimum distance a commercial passenger boat, specifically a jet boat that carries passengers for hire, must maintain from a private or public dock or boat ramp before it can accelerate beyond a no-wake speed. Previously, this distance was 50 feet, but this legislation changes it to 75 feet, aiming to enhance safety and reduce potential damage or disturbance to docks and ramps.
