To revise the criteria for investigatory stops of moving vessels. The bill would allow stops not just for suspicion that the vessel is violating a marine law, but also for suspected engagement “in criminal activity,” and allow an immediate arrest if this is found, without having to get an arrest warrant. It would limit stops for suspected marine violations to suspicions that are "articulable".
