OF NEWPORT BEACH DECLARING ITS OPPOSITION TO
REQUIRING VESSEL OPERATOR IDENTIFICATION
PERMITS
WHEREAS, Newport Bay is primarily used for recreational
boating with over 8,000 vessels presently being accommodated on a
permanent basis; and
WHEREAS, the operation of the permanently based vessels
as well as transient vessels is a matter of great cone -en to the
City of Newport Beach; and
WHEREAS, the yacht clubs, power squadrons, sailing
clubs and all organized boating clubs �ovide a concentrated
program of training and education for boat operators; and
WHEREAS, boating safety programs are also conducted
by both private organized groups and by various public entities
and
WHEREAS, the safety record of vessel operators, regard-
less of age, is extremely good, without the requirement of being
licensed; and
WHEREAS, legislation has been introduced in the State
Legislature which would prohibit the operation of any vessel
numbered under state law, without possessing a valid operator
identification permit; and
WHEREAS, the requirement of having to apply for and
be granted a vessel operator identification permit would impose
an unreasonable and unnecessary burden upon the numerous qualified
persons who presently operate registered vessels upon the waterways
of this State;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council
is unalterably opposed to Assembly Bill 1632 as presently
constituted and is further opposed to any legislative provision
which would have the effect of requiring vessel operator permits
or licenses, or which would provide punitive measures for violation
of any such law.
