Summary of the Strike-Everything Amendment to HB2100
Overview
Stipulates that a nonresident owner of a watercraft who operates a business or rents
watercrafts in this state, rather than who establishes this state as the state of principal
operation, must register and number that watercraft and directs the owner to provide proof
of insurance.
History
A nonresident owner of a watercraft who establishes this state as the state of principal
operation must register and number that watercraft and pay an additional boating safety
infrastructure fee assessed before placing that watercraft on the waterways of this state. The
owner must carry and display proof of payment of the fee in a manner prescribed by the
Arizona Game and Fish Commission (Commission) while the watercraft is underway, moored
or anchored on the waterways of this state (A.R.S. § 5-326).
The Commission must assess a nonresident boating safety infrastructure fee for each
watercraft registered in this state by a nonresident (A.R.S. § 5-327).
