The proposed bill seeks to amend section 5-311 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the language regarding the responsibilities of the governing body in relation to boating and water sports. The bill replaces the term "Make regulations" with "Adopt rules" in two instances, emphasizing a shift towards a more standardized terminology. Additionally, it modifies the language concerning the issuance of permits for watercraft events by removing the term "motor boat" and replacing it with "motorboat," thereby streamlining the terminology used in the statute.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that the rules adopted under this section must not conflict with those established by the United States Coast Guard, ensuring consistency with federal regulations. Overall, these updates aim to enhance clarity and effectiveness in the regulation of watercraft and related activities in Arizona.
