Impact
The resolution aims to address issues raised by community members related to the Division's management practices.

A performance audit could lead to significant changes to state laws concerning boating management, potentially improving the safety and regulatory environment for recreational activities.
Summary
HCR25, House Concurrent Resolution No. 25, requests the Auditor to conduct a performance audit of the operations and management of the Department of Land and Natural Resources' (DLNR) Division of Boating and Ocean Recreation. This Division is responsible for managing the state’s small boat harbors, mooring facilities, and various ocean recreation programs. The bill highlights long-standing community concerns regarding the Division's communication with the boating community, as well as inconsistent enforcement and oversight of boating regulations.
Contention
There are notable points of contention presented in discussions surrounding HCR25. The recurring theme is the necessity of the audit in light of past findings from previous audits that identified mismanagement as a problem. Proponents argue that a performance audit is essential to ensure accountability and transparency in how boating resources are managed, which can positively affect public trust. However, some may view this as an overreach or unnecessary intervention by external auditors, depending on the interpretation of existing management practices.
