Overview
This bill requires the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission to include information about different types of U.S. Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (life jackets) on vessel registration applications. It mandates that boat operators complete boating safety courses covering these devices and that sellers/renters of personal watercraft provide informational materials to purchasers/renters about the types, required use, and recommended use of life jackets. The goal is to improve safety by ensuring individuals are aware of the distinctions between life jacket types.
