This bill mandates that boat rental businesses maintain written records of individuals who receive approved pre-rental safety instruction, as required by existing law. The records must be kept for a term and in a manner specified by the Superintendent of State Police. Additionally, the bill requires the Superintendent to conduct annual audits of these records and publish the audit results on the division's website. The Superintendent is also tasked with issuing or amending guidelines to ensure the effective implementation of these provisions.

The legislation aligns with current regulations that allow individuals who have not completed a State-approved boat safety course to rent power vessels, provided they complete a pre-rental instruction course. The bill maintains the existing requirement for boat rental businesses to keep proof of completion for three years. It also establishes penalties for non-compliance, which are consistent with existing statutory penalties for violations of the state's boating laws, including fines of $25 for a first offense, $50 for a second, and $100 for third or subsequent offenses.
