WHAT'S NEW FOR 2000 Personal watercraft law for operators under 16 years of age must complete a Boating Safety Course and be in possession of course certificate. Classes are offered throughout the state. Check with any district office for a class schedule. Successful completion of boating safety courses certified and recognized by other states will be accepted in lieu of Nebraska Boating Basics Course.
Responsibility lies with the operator.
Reminders Boats manufactured in 1972 or later must be titled before they can be registered in Nebraska. Those made prior to 1972 are exempt from the titling law. Speeds in excess of 5 mph are illegal at all times in or within 30 yards of any vessel, marina, landing and fishing piers, anchorages or bathing beach. 30 days allowed in transit for boat registration. Classifications and the new three- year fee schedule are listed below.
