New York A11691 mandates life preservers at designated areas in state-operated marinas, docks, and launches.

New York A11691 amends the navigation law to require each state-operated marina, dock, and launch to maintain at least one readily accessible life preserver or similar throwable flotation device at designated areas. These areas include mooring slip clusters, fixed piers, floating dock sections, or launch points where vessels are regularly moored, launched, or retrieved. The Department of Environmental Conservation will coordinate to ensure consistent implementation across all state-operated facilities.
