BILL NUMBER:S3794
Title of bill
An act to amend the navigation law and the general business law, in relation to restrictions on jet skis
Summary of specific provisions
The amendment requires that no one under the age of eighteen years can buy a jet ski without the permission of a parent. It also requires that jet skiers must wear a protective helmet and take a safety course.
Justification
Under current law, a person under 18 may purchase a jet ski without parental permission. This bill makes sure that a parent is involved in the decision to purchase a jet ski which can be very dangerous for inexperienced users. This bill also requires a safety course to be taken as well as to mandate the wearing of a protective helmet. There have been many tragic accidents occurring each year because of a lack of requirements in this area.
Fiscal implication
None.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
