Introduced by Rep. Neal Nitz (R) on October 16, 2007, to allow personal watercraft equipped with a 170-degree rearview mirror to tow a water skier or tuber without having a “spotter” on board to alert the operator that the skier or tuber is “down.” The exemption would also extend to ski school boats and water ski competitions.
- Referred to the House Natural Resources, Tourism, and Outdoor Recreation 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.
