House panel keeps bill on boater safety afloat
The measure, HB154, is designed to prevent boating accidents, according to sponsor Rep. James Dunnigan, R-Taylorsville. Since 1995, the state has had 93 boat-related accidents and 79 percent of Utah voters have not completed a boating safety class, he said.
"We really believe that everyone should have boating education, and it will be available to everyone."
Dunnigan's measure does not apply to boaters using a vehicle with less than a 50 horsepower engine.
