Introduced Text

Pennsylvania HB187 prohibits the commission from requiring permits for non-motorized boats in parks, forests, and waters.

Pennsylvania HB187 amends Title 30 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to prevent the commission from creating rules or requiring permits for boats without motors in parks, forests, and state waters. This change ensures that non-motorized boats, such as canoes and kayaks, do not need a permit or registration to be launched in these areas. The act also nullifies any conflicting regulations.
