An Act amending Title 30 (Fish) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in preliminary provisions relating to boats and boating, further providing for boating education.

SB 476 updates Pennsylvania's boating safety requirements by exempting operators of small motorboats (25 horsepower or less, not personal watercraft) from mandatory safety training. It requires the state commission to coordinate statewide boating safety courses, issue certificates to those who complete approved courses or pay fees, and provide safety materials. The bill also specifies that course fees must fairly cover costs and allows the commission to replace lost certificates. These changes directly affect boat operators and the state commission responsible for safety programs. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment.
