The resolution establishes the Alabama Boating Safety Task Force to conduct a comprehensive review of boating safety practices, public safety, and enforcement issues related to recreational boating and fishing in Alabama. This initiative is prompted by the growing outdoor recreation economy in the state, which includes fishing tournaments and boating events that significantly contribute to local tourism and economic activity. The task force will consist of various appointed members, including legislators, representatives from the boating and fishing industries, and officials from relevant state departments, ensuring a diverse representation reflective of Alabama's demographics.

The task force is tasked with gathering and analyzing data on boating accidents and safety education, compiling recommendations from various stakeholders, and reviewing best practices from other states. It will develop legislative and regulatory recommendations aimed at improving boating safety and supporting the growth of outdoor recreation. The task force is required to submit a report of its findings and recommendations to the Governor and the Legislature by November 1, 2026, after which it will be dissolved. The resolution emphasizes the importance of safe boating practices to protect public safety and enhance the enjoyment of Alabama's waterways.
