An Act amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, providing for at-risk, derelict and abandoned boats; and imposing penalties.

SB 1017 defines "at-risk," "derelict," and "abandoned" boats in Pennsylvania law, creating a clear process for handling these vessels. It requires municipalities or law enforcement to notify the state commission within 7 days if they discover such boats, and to make reasonable efforts to contact the owner via certified mail or electronic means. The bill establishes procedures for removing hazards like boats taking on water, broken loose from anchors, or in deteriorated condition without owner contact. It directly affects boat owners, local governments managing waterways, and law enforcement agencies. The law focuses on defining terms and setting removal protocols, with penalties mentioned in the title but not detailed in the provided text.
