Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 655.7 of the Harbors and Navigation Code, relating to vessels.
AI Summary
This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing California law regarding the operation of personal watercraft, which are also known as jet skis. The change involves replacing the word "having" with "that has" in a section of the law that outlines exceptions to the rules for sanctioned events. The existing law generally requires personal watercraft to be operated safely and prudently, prohibits their use between sunset and sunrise, and mandates that operators attach a safety lanyard connected to an engine cut-off switch to themselves. Violations of these rules are considered infractions, which are minor offenses punishable by fines.
