Establish regulations and safety standards for the operation of boats on state waters.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with State Boating Act?
The State Boating Act is currently S. 3985, which has been in the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation since March 3, 2026. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but most bills fail because they never receive a committee hearing or vote. This effort follows a similar path to S. 4113, which expired in committee on April 10, 2024.
