It updates definitions, including replacing "internal waters" with "waters of this State" and "coastal waters" with "territorial waters." The bill also changes regulations for homemade watercraft, requiring them to meet visibility standards. It allows owners of existing nonwater-dependent floating structures to apply for leases to continue operating them.
