HB 1197STATE · ColoradoIntroduced

Sunset Water Vessel Registration Program

The act implements the recommendation of the department of regulatory agencies' sunset review and report in continuing the registration program for vessels until September 1, 2036.     The act also makes changes to definitions of 'vessel' and adds a definition of 'vessel livery'.     Current law requires that the records of a vessel livery related to hired vessels be preserved for at least 30 days after the vessel is to be returned to the vessel livery. The act extends this period to 3 years after the vessel is to be returned to the vessel livery.     Current law provides that an individual who violates provisions related to the minimum age of motorboat operators is subject to a fine of $100. The act changes 'individual' to 'person'.(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
