Boating Safety Act

The Boating Safety Act is a U.S. law aimed at improving safety on the water. It sets standards for the design and construction of boats to ensure they are safe to use and requires boating education programs to teach operators how to navigate safely. The Act also encourages states to establish their own boating safety regulations. By promoting safer boating practices and equipment, the law aims to reduce accidents and fatalities on the water, protecting both boaters and passengers.
