RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

This amendment identifies more conditions when safety equipment is required and readily accessible, unless required to be "immediately" available.

Summary of the rule or change:

Additional safety equipment is required to be in good and serviceable condition, and this rule amendment goes one step further by requiring that the same equipment to be "readily available" unless there is a requirement for such equipment to be "immediately available".

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Title 73, Chapter 18

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

Since this is a safety requirement, there would be no anticipated cost or savings to the state budget.

local governments:

This is a boating requirement and deals directly with state issues. There are no anticipated cost or savings to local government.

other persons:

There is no anticipated cost or savings to other persons, other than compliance to the accessibility of safety equipment.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

This rule amendment requires equipment to be readily accessible, but does not require any additional equipment, and therefore, there is no compliance cost estimated to vessel owners.

This rule amendment will have no fiscal impact on businesses. Michael Styler, Executive Director
