Sir:
Your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce, to which was referred H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 1, entitled:
"A BILL FOR AN ACT RELATING TO MANDATORY VESSEL INSURANCE COVERAGE,"
begs leave to report as follows:
The
purpose of this measure is to
ensure that the Department of Land and Natural Resources (DLNR) can recover
costs incurred because of boat accidents that cause injury to a person, damage
to property, a grounding, or a sinking by:
(1) Requiring owners of certain vessels that operate in and on state ocean waters to obtain marine insurance coverage of a specific type and minimum coverage amount;
(2) Providing transient vessels with an exemption from marine insurance coverage requirement for ten days after the transient vessel arrives in state ocean waters; and
(3) Allowing the DLNR to adopt rules regarding the marine insurance coverage requirement.
Your Committee has amended this measure by making technical, nonsubstantive amendments for clarity, consistency, and style.
As affirmed by the record of votes of the members of your Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce that is attached to this report, your Committee is in accord with the intent and purpose of H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 1, as amended herein, and recommends that it be referred to your Committee on Finance in the form attached hereto as H.B. No. 1033, H.D. 2.
Respectfully submitted on behalf of the members of the Committee on Consumer Protection & Commerce,
