Introduced in the House

July 1, 2010

Introduced by Rep. Richard Ball (R-85)

To impose registration with a $5 fee on canoes and kayaks. Owners would have to attach a registration decal as on power or larger sailboats. Failure to register and display the decal would be punishable by a fine of up to $500. Note: The legislature imposed this mandate once before in the 1980s and was forced to repeal it and issue refunds because of public objections.

Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation
