An Act relative to embarkation fees

This bill increases the ferry embarkation fee from $0.50 to $1.00 per boarding. It revises how the collected revenue is distributed: 12.5% now goes to fire districts providing safety services at ports, while 62.5% remains with the city or town operating the ferry. The changes affect municipalities with ferry services and the fire districts serving those port areas. The bill modifies existing revenue-sharing rules under Chapter 46 of Massachusetts law without altering the fee's purpose or scope.
