The bill amends Act 2023-459 of the 2023 Regular Session, specifically Section 33-5-26.1 of the Code of Alabama 1975, to expand regulations on wakeboarding and wakesurfing on certain fresh waters in Alabama. The new legal language adds the waters impounded by Martin Dam (Lake Martin) and Weiss Dam (Weiss Lake) to the list of areas where these activities are regulated. It prohibits operating a motorboat above idle speed within 100 feet of any shoreline, dock, pier, boathouse, or other structures on these waters, and establishes fines for violations, with a first offense resulting in a minimum fine of $100 and subsequent offenses incurring higher penalties.

Additionally, the bill introduces a warning period for first-time violators, allowing them to receive a written warning for violations occurring within one year of the bill's effective date, which is set for October 1, 2024. The bill also clarifies that it does not apply to approved marine events and mandates that the Alabama State Law Enforcement Agency and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources inform the public about these regulations. The bill is designed to enhance safety on the waters while also defining new penalties for violations.
