The bill amends Title 30 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes regarding the Boating Advisory Board within the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. It updates the composition of the board by replacing the Secretary of Environmental Resources with the Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources or their designee. Additionally, it specifies that the board will include two at-large members of the commission, as outlined in section 301(b), and maintains the requirement for five volunteer members appointed by the Governor for five-year terms.
Furthermore, the bill removes the provision that the assistant executive director for watercraft safety serves as the secretary of the board, allowing for a more streamlined leadership structure. The changes aim to enhance the effectiveness and governance of the Boating Advisory Board. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
