South Carolina Boating Safety and Education bill passes!

July 28, 2023

SCWF is proud to support S. 96, the South Carolina Boating Safety and Education bill which will make South Carolina’s waterways safer. This legislation will require boaters born on or after July 1, 2007 to receive a boating safety certificate by completing a boating safety course administered or approved by the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources (SCDNR) before operating a boat with a 10-horsepower engine or greater. Our Director of Education, BeBe Dalton Harrison, attended the ceremonial bill signing yesterday on Lake Murray with Governor Henry McMaster, Lieutenant Governor Pamela S. Evette, state and local law enforcement officers, state agency leaders, members of the General Assembly, and many bill supporters who had lost loved ones in boating accidents.
