Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024
PURPOSE: This amendment is necessary due to the merger of the Missouri State Water Patrol into a division of the Missouri State Highway Patrol as authorized by section 43.390, RSMo.
(1) The minimum standards for certified boater education shall be the standards established by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA).
(2) It is the responsibility of the person to whom a boater education certification card is issued to notify the Missouri State Highway Patrol of name and address changes. Upon notification, the Missouri State Highway Patrol may issue a replacement certification card for a fee that does not substantially exceed the administrative and production costs of the certification cards.
(3) As used in section 306.127, RSMo, subsection 4, paragraph 8, the term "previously" means prior to January 1, 2005, but does not exempt the boat operator from the requirement to carry the certification card.
(4) As indicated in section 306.127, RSMo, subsection 7, the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Water Patrol Division will develop a boating safety checklist which will be used by any participating business in the temporary boater identification card program. The checklist must be completed by the applicant in the presence of the owner or an employee of the business issuing the temporary permit. The applicant will acknowledge understanding of the checklist prior to the issuance of the temporary permit. The checklist will consist of state boating law requirements and other operator responsibilities associated with boating safety. The checklist may be modified by the Water Patrol Division to reflect boating safety trends identified from boat accident data.
