Modifies provisions relating to boating safety identification cards

HB 1419 requires most people operating vessels on Missouri state waters to carry a permanent boating safety identification card. To qualify, individuals must complete a nationally approved boating safety course, pass an equivalency exam, or hold a valid U.S. Coast Guard license. The bill exempts Coast Guard license holders, private lake users, short-term nonresidents, military personnel, and those with out-of-state certificates from the requirement. Temporary cards (valid for seven days) may be issued by rental/sale businesses for new operators, but these do not affect driver’s licenses and expire December 31, 2032.
