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 have successfully completed a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating safety examination and have received a certificate from the agency as evidence of this completion. Additionally, it modifies Section 69-9-226(c) to specify that the fee for issuing a boating safety certificate will be set by the commission, which may also establish a separate fee for replacement cards.

Furthermore, the bill makes a minor adjustment in Section 69-9-226(d)(4)(A) by removing the word "monitored." These changes aim to streamline the certification process and clarify the fee structure associated with boating safety examinations and certifications. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
