Legislation Will Strengthen Laws to Improve Safety for Commercial Boat Passengers and Crews
Governor George E. Pataki today unveiled comprehensive legislation that would improve safety for commercial boat passengers and crews by strengthening the laws governing public vessel operation on the State's waterways.
The proposed bill follows legislation submitted by the Governor last Fall that requires operators of commercial boats involved in incidents -- where passenger(s) are severely injured or killed -- to undergo an immediate, mandatory chemical test to determine if an operator was under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The Governor proposed the new legislation after a fatal incident with the tour boat Ethan Allen on Lake George, when 20 passengers were killed.
"We have worked to make New York's boating laws among the strongest in the nation," Governor Pataki said. "But we must do everything we can to prevent another tragedy like the Ethan Allen from occurring. Our comprehensive legislation will take the necessary steps to further strengthen New York's boating laws and ensure that owners and operators of public vessels take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of both their passengers and crew."
