The bill mandates that wakesurfing cannot occur within 300 feet of the shoreline or in less than 15 feet of water. It also requires participants to wear an approved personal flotation device. The Division of Law Enforcement within the Department of Fisheries and Wildlife is authorized to create an educational safety program.
