RÉSUMÉ DIGEST
ACT 188 (SB 43) 2023 Regular Session Bouie
Existing law provides relative to the distribution and sale of recreational products and
provides for the licensure of dealers.
Prior law defined certain terms, including "marine dealer", "marine motor" or "marine
engine", "marine product", "recreational products", and "recreational products dealer".
New law changes the definitions of "marine dealer" and "recreational products dealer" to
exempt from licensure any person engaged in the business of renting or selling new or used
trolling motors who otherwise would not be required to be licensed under prior law.
New law defines the term "trolling motor" and excludes that term from the definitions of
"marine motor" or "marine engine", "marine product", and "recreational products".
Effective August 1, 2023.
