Requires personal flotation devices for all on board recreational vessels 16 feet or longer.

This bill amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to mandate that each person on a recreational vessel 16 feet or more in length must wear a wearable personal flotation device while the vessel is under way. The required flotation device must be of the sort prescribed by the commandant of the Coast Guard. This change aims to enhance safety for recreational boaters in Texas.
