AI Summary

This bill mandates that the Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), along with the Commissioner of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance, will be responsible for managing, operating, improving, repairing, and maintaining the land under certain waters used for recreational boating, including navigable channels and areas for mooring or docking boats, for the duration of any lease. This ensures that lessees have sufficient access to these navigable waters for recreational boating and mooring, and that the capacity for water-dependent activities is maintained. The bill also requires that surveys of these areas include navigable channels and berthing/mooring areas, and establish a schedule for maintaining these navigable waters for each boating facility.
