THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Subcommittee members noted that non-motorized boaters like kayakers benefit from Division of Boating and Waterways (DBW) programs and search and rescue without contributing to the Harbors and Watercraft Revolving Fund. Ideas raised included a simple one-time permit or registration, and shifting AIS/QZ sticker responsibilities from DMV to DBW. This is conceptual policy work, but if pursued it will require new registration systems, outreach tools, and possibly enforcement and fee collection technology.
Reference to existing AIS/QZ sticker program currently under DMV statute but possibly moving to DBW; discussion ties to broader HWRF revenue and equity for non-motorized users.
