AN ACT CONCERNING WAKESURFING ON CERTAIN LAKES IN THE STATE.

SB 313 prohibits operating wake boats (vessels with specialized devices like ballast tanks to create large wakes) within 200 feet of shore for wakesurfing or wakeboarding on most state lakes. It directly affects recreational boaters using these specialized vessels on lakes statewide, while allowing municipalities to enforce stricter distance requirements. The bill explicitly exempts lakes bordering Warren, Washington, and Kent, which already have separate bans on wake boats. This establishes a uniform minimum distance for safety and environmental protection without banning wakesurfing entirely.
