BILL NUMBER:S8352
Title of bill
An act to amend the Greenwood Lake Protection Act, in relation to eliminating dock fees and establishing a penalty for boat permit violations on Greenwood Lake
Purpose
Amends the Greenwood Lake Protection Act by eliminating dock fees, eliminating boat permit fees for all non-motorized boats, and establishing a civil penalty that shall be established by the local municipality for boat permit violations on Greenwood Lake.
Summary of provisions
Subdivision g of section 5 of chapter 47 of the laws of 2002, constituting the Greenwood Lake Protection Act, as added by chapter 577 of the laws of 2006 is amended.
Section 1 eliminates dock fees on Greenwood Lake, and eliminates non-mechanically propelled boats from having to obtain an annual permit issued by the Greenwood Lake Commission, as well as establishes a civil penalty that shall be established by the local municipality.
Justification
This bill is needed to establish enforcement for those motorized boats that are on Greenwood Lake without obtaining a permit. Also this bill will eliminate the charging of dock fees to properly owners on the lake who have docks and only charge them a permit fee for any motorized boats they may have instead of both a dock fee and a boat permit fee. This bill also eliminates non-motorized boats from having to obtain a permit.
