SB0759 requires a permit for operating exempt vessels on Tennessee's intrastate waters.

SB0759 amends Tennessee law to mandate a permit for operating exempt vessels on the state's intrastate waters. An "exempt vessel" is defined as one exempt from state numbering due to a valid federal numbering system from another state. The Fish and Wildlife Commission can set rules for the permit's design, cost, duration, issuance, and sale, with fees deposited in the boating safety fund. The permit fee is initially set at $72.00, payable annually, and may be adjusted by the commission. The permit must be purchased before operating an exempt vessel on Tennessee waters.
