Alabama SB326 authorizes ALEA to adopt rules regulating vessel anchoring and rafting, including enforcement mechanisms and penalties for violations.

Alabama SB326 empowers the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) to create rules governing the anchoring and rafting of vessels in state waters. These rules aim to prevent long-term, unlawful, or unsafe anchoring and establish minimum distances for anchoring and rafting. ALEA may also adopt enforcement mechanisms, including fees, and violations of these rules are punishable as boating violations. The act emphasizes that these state rules do not limit federal authority over state waters.
