Boat Owners - Be Advised!

[rsimms]

Boat owners might want to be aware of this (a proposed law requiring all boats to have a title, just like your car) ... now is the time to contact your legislators if you have an opinion:

Me too Possum, and if everyone keeps complaining about boat speeds we will have a speed limit next.

I heard about this the other day. There is only one thing that bothers me.... There has been no set price for this title. The numbers keep going up on who gets what and everyone out there but the TWRA is in favor of it. I used to have to tile and all that stuff when I lived in GA. It is good for keeping up with the registrations and all that but it is gonna cost the owners some time and money to get all this done.

Folks, if you oppose this proposed legislation, please take the time to email your state senators and rep's and express your opinion.

Here is a link to the available information: http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/...Info/BillCompanionInfo.aspx?BillNumber=SB0784

If you are unsure who the legislators are for your district you can find that info with a convienent email link through http://www.legislature.state.tn.us/.

You need to have this in the subject line: "Oppose SB784/HB1921" and include your thoughts on titling boats and the unnecessary procedures related.

The proposal is for the TWRA to administer the program while receiving NONE of the revenue. If this comes to pass it will require the reallocation of already stained TWRA resources and almost certainly will result in FEWER TWRA officers being on the lakes. Keep in mind that TWRA already registers water craft.

Git-r-done!!
