AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of an "adult operator" of a motorboat in Minnesota Statutes, specifically section 86B.30, subdivision 3. Previously, the law outlined a phased approach where the age requirement for an adult operator would gradually increase over several years, starting with those born on or after July 1, 2004, and eventually moving to those born on or after July 1, 1987. This bill removes those future phased-in dates and establishes that, effective July 1, 2025, an "adult operator" is any motorboat or personal watercraft operator who is 12 years of age or older and was born on or after July 1, 2004.
