Summary
This bill amends federal maritime law to explicitly authorize states to require payment of state fees related to boating as a condition for issuing vessel numbers. The fees may cover search and rescue operations, boating safety measures, and efforts to address aquatic invasive species, and must be collected in conjunction with other vessel numbering fees. States may only use collected fees to fund activities directly related to recreational boating, boater safety, boater access, waterway use, and aquatic invasive species management.
