Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

State Boating Act

Key claim: The State Boating Act (S3985, 119th Congress) was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

Abstract

(S3985 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-03-04): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation.

Why this matters

Recreational boating safety and state authority fall within the Coast Guard’s traditional regulatory space, so any federal legislation reshaping state boating programs could affect navigable-waters enforcement and boater safety standards. At the introduced stage, the practical effect is unknown, but the referral to Senate Commerce marks the bill as a track-worthy item for later substantive review.
