Item 1

 
All buoys used to mark the water-skiing course must prominently
display the permit number. Buoys marking a course may be placed
no earlier than April 1st and must be removed no later than
November 1st of each year. The number of buoys for any water-
skiing course may not exceed 40. Buoys that are part of a
permitted course are granted the same legal protection from
vandalism as navigational buoys under Title 38, section 329 1899-
C.

 
Water-skiing tow boats utilizing the course may not travel within
100 feet of the shore at any time. The commissioner, after
giving a 10-day advance notice to an applicant, may suspend the
use of the water-skiing course for up to 3 days for other
permitted events, such as bass tournaments.

 
A course permitted under this subsection may be used for practice
without a permit under section 7797. That use does not violate
the provisions of section 7801, subsection 4. A permit under
section 7797 is required for any water-skiing exhibition or
tournament conducted at a course permitted under this subsection.
The provisions of section 7801, subsection 5 do not apply to a
course permitted under this subsection unless that course is also
permitted under section 7797.

 
The commissioner may suspend or revoke a permit issued under this
subsection if the commissioner determines that the presence of
the course creates a safety concern or constitutes a nuisance.

 
The annual fee for a permit issued under this subsection is $25.

 
This subsection is repealed March 31, 1999.
