The Division of Parks and Recreation is mandated to create rules to provide safety for the commercial side of boating in Utah. The Division of Parks and Recreation works with a Boating Advisory Council to ensure the safety and enjoyment of the citizens that access Utah's waterways. These amendments are due to the recommendations of those members of the Boating Advisory Council and others to see that safe services are provided, to reduce liability issues by re-classifying rivers and by fine-tuning the license endorsements to include instructors.
