This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 86B.30, subdivision 3, to modify the definition of an "adult operator" of a motorboat. The revised definition states that an adult operator is now defined as a motorboat operator, including a personal watercraft operator, who is 12 years of age or older. The previous criteria that specified age requirements based on birth dates and phased implementation from 2025 to 2028 have been removed.

Additionally, the bill includes a new effective date for the amended definition, which will take effect on July 1, 2025. This change streamlines the criteria for who qualifies as an adult operator of a motorboat, eliminating the phased approach and simplifying the age requirement.
