Relates to pilotage fees on vessels transiting the New York state waters of Long Island Sound or Block Island Sound east of Execution Rocks or Sands Point

This bill updates the pilotage fees that vessels must pay when passing through specific areas of Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound. It directly affects ship operators and companies that hire pilots to guide boats through these New York state waters. The legislation sets a new fixed fee of $13.91 per pilotage unit, replacing a previous schedule of gradually increasing rates. This change applies to all vessels transiting the designated sounds east of Execution Rocks or Sands Point and takes effect immediately upon passage.
