I heard a limit had been put on the age requirement for this, but not according to this article. The upshot is that a tragedy occured in 2005 so in 2019 people who have been safely boating their whole life have to take and of course pay for a boating course. Add this to forcing parents and grandparents to lock their guns and making it a crime ( not a ticket but a crime) to burn your red solo cup in a camp fire.
NYS wants to be your DADDY AND your MOMMY. apparently a child tragically died in a 2005 boating accident that almost certainly would NOT have been prevented by a boating course ( you cannot teach common sense). Undoubtedly some law maker used the situation for some photo ops.
Enough is enough NYS. Are you really puzzeled as to why people are getting the hell out.
