The bill amends Section 67-7028 of the Idaho Code, which pertains to the enforcement of the Idaho Safe Boating Act. The amendment specifies that sheriffs and deputy sheriffs are primarily responsible for enforcing the chapter and grants them the authority to stop and board any vessel subject to law upon reasonable suspicion that a violation has occurred. This addition clarifies the conditions under which law enforcement can take action regarding potential boating violations.

Additionally, the bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect on July 1, 2026. This expedited implementation underscores the urgency of enhancing enforcement measures within the state's boating regulations.
