House Bill 530 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 69, Chapter 9, to update the operator requirements for boating safety examinations. The bill replaces existing language in Section 69-9-226(a) by requiring that individuals must successfully complete a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating safety examination and receive a certificate from the agency as evidence of completion. Additionally, it modifies Section 69-9-226(c) to allow the commission to set a fee for the issuance of boating safety cards and a separate fee for replacement cards.

Furthermore, the bill removes the word "monitored" from Section 69-9-226(d)(4)(A), streamlining the language related to boating safety regulations. The changes aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the requirements for boating operators in Tennessee. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
