ATTENTION: 

 On August 6, 2019 New York State passed Brianna's Law (S.5685/A.4853.A) which will require all motorized watercraft operators to complete a state-approved boating safety course by 2025. The new requirement will be introduced in the following stages over the next five years:

• Beginning in 2020 all motor boat operators born on or after January 1, 1993 must complete a boaters safety course.
• Beginning in 2022 all motor boat operators born on or after January 1, 1988 must complete a boaters safety course.
• Beginning in 2023 all motor boat operators born on or after January 1, 1983 must complete a boaters safety course.
• Beginning in 2024 all motor boat operators born on or after January 1, 1978 must complete a boaters safety course.
• In 2025, all motor boat operators must have completed a state-approved boaters safety course must regardless of age.

Failure to comply with the law could result in a fine of $100-$250 beginning in 2020.
