Introduced by Rep.

- Referred to the House Tourism, Outdoor Recreation, And Natural Resources Committee on October 16, 2007.

letting us be responsible for ourselves? Where I boat in Lake Huron this requirement is unnecessary. There isn't that much boat traffic. If you need a nanny, hire one yourself.

It is a bad idea. There are just to many inconsiderate and ignorant people on the waterways that compromise safety to allow this.
