SB2019 updates Illinois boating safety laws, mandating a valid Boating Safety Certificate for motorboat operation. Exemptions include those with a U.S. Coast Guard commercial license, those on official duty, and temporary visitors. The Department of Natural Resources will offer boating safety courses, with certificates issued to those aged 10 and older who complete the course. Persons born after 1997 must have a certificate to operate a motorboat with over 10 horsepower. The bill also outlines penalties for violations, such as providing false information or using a counterfeit certificate.
