The bill, known as General Assembly Committee Bill No. 313, aims to establish a speed limit for motorboats and personal watercrafts on Mashapaug Lake in Union, Connecticut. Specifically, it mandates that the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection adopt regulations to enforce a speed limit of ten miles per hour on the lake. This regulation is to be implemented by April 1, 2026, and is designed to enhance safety and environmental protection in the area.
The bill introduces new legal language that specifies the establishment of this speed limit, while there are no deletions from current law noted in the text. The act is set to take effect upon passage, and its primary purpose is to regulate watercraft speed on Mashapaug Lake to ensure a safer recreational environment for all users.
