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 individuals to successfully complete a National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) approved boating safety examination and obtain a certificate from the agency as proof of completion. Additionally, it modifies Section 69-9-226(c) to specify that a fee for the issuance of boating safety certificates will be 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 the issuance of boating safety certificates. 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.
