This bill removes the requirement for boat insurance.
This bill:
AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Starting July 1, 2026, Utah law no longer requires motorboat owners to carry liability insurance — the bill repeals the entire chapter of state law that established mandatory boat insurance requirements, removes motorboats from the state's insurance tracking database program, and eliminates the $2-per-registration fee that boat owners currently pay to fund that tracking system. Utahns injured in a motorboat accident caused by an uninsured operator would lose the guarantee that the at-fault party carries insurance to cover their damages.
