Senator Pam Roach has sponsored Senate Bill 6364 to ban "teak surfing". She was prompted by one of her constituent organizations, the East Pierce County Fire and Rescue. This agency had dealt with two tragic deaths on Lake Tapps due to teak surfing. For info on bill language go to: http://apps.leg.wa.gov/billinfo/summary.aspx?bill=6364 The hearing for this bill is on February 1st in Olympia. Unfortunately it's at 8 AM, however Sen. Roach would like to have as many boaters as possible show up to support this bill. RBAW supports this bill and it's intent. There may be discussions to amend the bill for word smithing purposes to clarify the term "teak surfing", but all for the better. Clearly this is a bill all boating safety organizations should have interest in and your participation at the hearing would be welcomed by the bill's supporters. RBAW plans to be there on the 1st. If anybody else can make it and needs further information, directions, etc. please let me know. If you want to testify PRO, you can say a few words why you or your organization likes the bill. Otherwise, you can just sign in PRO "not wanting to testify". Thanks and let me know if any questions. ~David Kutz RBAW President Chuck, I am concerned that the State of Washington is trying to override Darwin's theories. One should not mess with Mother Nature. I'll bite. What the hell is 'teak surfing'? -- John H ****************************************** ***** Have a Spectacular Day! ***** ****************************************** |
