The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding watercraft registration and insurance requirements for nonresident owners. Specifically, it would introduce new obligations for nonresident owners who intend to rent their watercraft to third parties. These owners would be required to register and number the watercraft they plan to rent, as well as maintain and provide proof of insurance for the duration of the rental. This new language would be inserted into the existing statute, enhancing the regulatory framework for watercraft rentals.

Additionally, the bill would clarify that nonresident owners must provide proof of insurance in Arizona, regardless of whether they establish the state as their principal operation for the watercraft. The bill also makes technical and conforming changes to the existing law, including the deletion of outdated language. Overall, these updates aim to ensure that nonresident watercraft owners comply with insurance and registration requirements when engaging in rental agreements within the state.
