A bill for an act relating to the use of blue lights on vessels operating on waters under the jurisdiction of the natural resource commission.

HF 863 removes a prohibition on non-emergency vessels displaying solid blue lights while operating on Iowa waters under the Natural Resource Commission's jurisdiction. Current law already banned both solid and flashing blue lights (except for authorized emergency vessels), with a $35 fine for violations. This bill specifically lifts the ban on solid blue lights but maintains the prohibition on flashing blue lights. The change directly affects all vessel operators on these waters, allowing solid blue lights without requiring emergency status.
