No. 36235 (Amendment): Rule R651-227. Boating Safety Course Fees

(Amendment)

DAR File No.: 36235
Filed: 05/16/2012 05:17:39 PM

RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Changes have occurred since the agency made our mandatory personal watercraft course and voluntary adult boating courses available online. The Division has been charging, through the online providers, a $5 fee for the issuance of the Division's state issued Boating Education Certificate. This fee covers the costs of staff, printing, supplies, and postage. This information needs to be included in the rule and wording clarified between the Division of Parks and Recreation fees and the online provider's fees. Wording changes are also needed for the certificate as well. It was previously called a "personal watercraft education certificate" and is now titled "Boating Education Certificate".

Summary of the rule or change:

Clarification is needed in the rule stating that it is the Division's course that is $12, since our online providers charge their own fee not subject to our rules. The Division also needs to update the name of the card issued to "Boating Education Certificate" as the Division no longer calls the card a "personal watercraft education certificate".

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:
