Passage; May 23, 2017; Journal Page 2668; 18 Yeas, 13 Nays


YCT Nay. HB 550 would have required vessels to have a flotation device for each person onboard, lights, and a sound-producing device, all required by the Coast Guard. By requiring individuals to have all three of these items onboard, lessens limited government and individual liberty. YCT does not support adding new regulations.
