Greetings,
I recently started as Wisconsin's BLA and I am conducting research regarding requiring registration for non-motorized small boats (canoes, kayaks, SUPs, etc.). I am trying to get a sense of if other states have implemented this type of regulation and what their experiences have been. Below are some of my questions:
- If you have a requirement like this, does your state see a high level of compliance?
- What does it cost to register a non-motorized boats of this type in your state?
- How do you handle registering non-motorized boats without HIDs?
- How do you handle registration for things like summer camps, etc. that have large fleets of these types of vessels?
- Do you have any special carve-outs in law that allow people to pay a lower registration fee if they only use that small boat on one body of water (i.e. a "home lake" rule)?
Thank you for any insights you can provide,
John
