Authorizing additional use of certain private recreational docks and mooring buoys.
HB 2395 allows owners of private recreational docks and mooring buoys on state-owned aquatic lands to temporarily share them with other qualified recreational vessels. It specifically authorizes "recreational moorage sharing" for privately-owned docks, enabling nonresidential, noncommercial boats (like personally owned or club-affiliated vessels) to use these facilities. The bill amends existing law to clarify that this sharing does not constitute a commercial operation or residential use. It directly affects private dock owners and recreational boaters, without changing ownership, fees, or land use regulations. The bill is currently in committee referral after its first reading on January 13, 2026.
