A bill for an act creating boat permits for boat liveries, and including retroactive applicability provisions.

This bill requires boat rental businesses (called "boat liveries") operating on lakes along the Des Moines River managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to obtain state-issued permits for each watercraft they rent. Each permit allows one watercraft to be rented at a time and is valid for two years, with a committee (including legislative and agency members) allocating permits and setting safety rules. The bill applies retroactively to all rentals starting January 1, 2025, and requires out-of-state boats used in these waters to comply with the permit rules. It does not affect boat rentals outside these specific lakes.
