Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .
HB 1707, Section 6(a) would require operators and passengers of kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards to wear
life vests while those vessels are underway. Regardless of operator or passenger age, waterbody type or time of year.
Section 6(b) provides exceptions to the requirements of Section 6 (a). Those exceptions are: a person operating a squirt
boat, a person participating in yoga while on a stand up paddleboard, a person on a stand up paddleboard who is wearing
a leash attached to the board, a person operating a canoe, kayak or stand up paddleboard as part of a sanctioned
competition, a person who is a federally recognized tribal member, and a person operating a canoe, kayak or stand up
paddleboard under the direct supervision of a coach.
The current law for canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards is that operators are required to have life vests on board
the vessel. The new law would require operators and passengers of these three vessel types to wear life vests while
underway. The Recreational Boating Safety program at State Parks promotes and educates persons on current
recreational boating laws and best safety practices. This new law would alter the program’s messaging and change how
we approach communicating life vest wear to recreational boaters.
Workload assumptions that could have expenditure impact :
• Standard Agency Rulemaking Costs
• Amend Boater Education Curriculum
• Amend Education Curriculum for our Basic Marine Law Enforcement Academies
• Website changes
• Informational hardcopy marketing campaign (signs, posters, banners)
• Social media marketing campaign
• Education and outreach for all local /state/federal agencies that manage access to waterways, outfitters and
business’s that take people on human powered watercraft experiences, and retailers that sell these vessels,
communicating that life vests are now required to be worn when operating these three vessel types while underway.
• Law Table adjustments adding citations for law enforcement and for the courts.
Fiscal impacts related to this legislation are estimated at $51,800 one-time and $5,600 on-going.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency , identifying the cash receipts provisions by section number
and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources . Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts
impact is derived. Explain how workload assumptions translate into estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .
None
II. C - Expenditures
Briefly describe the agency expenditures necessary to implement this legislation (or savings resulting from this legislation ), identifying by section number the
provisions of the legislation that result in the expenditures (or savings ). Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the
expenditure impact is derived . Explain how workload assumptions translate into cost estimates . Distinguish between one time and ongoing functions .
Agency expenditures are expected if this legislation were to pass. Primarily, the distribution of information, educating the
general boating public and the marketing campaigns that would surround the education and outreach. There would also
be some rule making costs, law table adjustment costs and education curriculum amendment costs. Total expenditures
are estimated at $51,800.

Part II: Narrative Explanation
II. A - Brief Description Of What The Measure Does That Has Fiscal Impact
Briefly describe by section number , the significant provisions of the bill , and any related workload or policy assumptions , that have revenue or
expenditure impact on the responding agency .
Section 2(6) adds the requirement to wear a personal floatation device while operating or occupying a kayak, canoe, or
stand-up paddle board on Washington waters unless exempted. Enforcement authority is clarified for law enforcement
officers, stating that actions may be accomplished as a primary action and need not be accompanied by the suspected
violation of some other offense.
There is no fiscal impact to the Department for either workload or the corresponding revenue from civil penalties.
Making this change to patrolling activities does not increase the workload, the number of patrols will remain the same,
therefore no fiscal impact. During the first years of implementation, Enforcement Officers will educate the public about
the new requirement and assumes ongoing compliance, therefore no increase to cash receipts.
II. B - Cash receipts Impact
Briefly describe and quantify the cash receipts impact of the legislation on the responding agency , identifying the cash receipts provisions by section number
and when appropriate the detail of the revenue sources . Briefly describe the factual basis of the assumptions and the method by which the cash receipts
