The Issue

Increase the age and requirements necessary to operate any watercraft-as well as "tow" anything or anyone on the water.
One teenage girl died and another was hospitalized after a tubing accident in the intercoastal waterway near Tampa Bay. They were on a boat that was pulling an O’Brien Super Screamer inflatable tube with two more teens riding it. Witnesses say as the boat turned, the raft spun out and crashed into the dock. This is important because we have lost an Angel from Rock Solid Allstars Deviny Boese, 15 years old. A smart, bright, intelligent child with her whole life ahead of her. We feel that the age requirements should be changed to 16 for a license to be received at the DMV office in person and 21 to pull another person on a watersport.
