Requires children under 13 to wear a personal flotation device on vessels unless in cabin or below deck.

The bill amends South Carolina's boating safety laws to mandate that anyone under 13 wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device on any vessel unless they are in the cabin or below deck. This applies to all sizes of vessels. The change updates the previous age limit from 12 to 13. The act will take effect upon the Governor's approval.
