Under current law, no person may dispose of any toilet wastes from boats that
are equipped with toilets into the waters of the state. Under this bill, establishments
that provide berths or moorings to 5 or more boats must provide onshore disposal
facilities for these toilet wastes. Under the bill, any rules established to carry out this
requirement must be jointly promulgated by the department of development and the
department of natural resources.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
