Boats, Boating - As enacted, creates the Class C misdemeanor offense of mooring a recreational vessel for more than 14 consecutive days at any one place along the water's edge of a reservoir or at any place within one mile of the water's edge; makes other related revisions. - Amends TCA Title 69, Chapter 9.

HB 1786 prohibits recreational boat owners from securing (mooring) their vessels for more than 14 consecutive days at any single location along reservoir water edges or within one mile of the water's edge. It also bans blocking navigation access in reservoirs and establishes temporary moorage restrictions in Tennessee River navigation channels. Violating these rules would be a Class C misdemeanor, though federal permit holders for permanent mooring are exempt. The law directly affects recreational boaters using reservoirs managed by federal agencies, aiming to prevent long-term vessel accumulation and maintain water access.
