The bill amends Title 30 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, specifically regarding the composition and structure of the Boating Advisory Board within the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. It replaces the Secretary of Environmental Resources with the Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources, or a designee, as a member of the board. Additionally, it specifies that the two at-large members of the commission, as outlined in section 301(b), will also serve on the board. The bill maintains the requirement for five volunteer members to be 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 flexible leadership structure. The board will continue to select one of the volunteer members as chairman annually. This act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
