As I understand it, its an introduction for newbees and a required
review for those ticketed in vessel operation offenses.

consider it the marine equivolent to the safe driving course one can
take to keep points off ones drivers license if one gets a vehicle
moving violation......

I am not even sure there is a charge for the card, it was created in
response to kids getting hurt on jetskis.......

Washington state wants to institute a revamped law to require boating
drivers licenses. To those in states who have such laws, what are the pros
and cons of your system and does it prevent accidents etc or is it just
another red tape gizmo to collect money for the state?
Thanks in advance
