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 state that the issuance of certificates will incur a fee set by the commission, which may also establish 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 requirements. The changes aim to enhance the clarity and effectiveness of the regulations governing boating safety in Tennessee. The act will take effect upon becoming law, emphasizing the importance of public welfare in its implementation.
