BILL NUMBER: S5797B

SPONSOR: BROOKS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the navigation law, in relation to requiring working
marine carbon monoxide detectors to be carried on closed bow boats

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To prevent needless deaths and carbon monoxide poisonings of boat owners
and their guest while boating.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends § 40 of the Navigation Law by adding new subdivision
9-a that requires all vessels operated on any navigable waters with an
enclosed accommodation compartment to.be equipped with a functioning
carbon monoxide detection system appropriate for such vessel.

JUSTIFICATION:

Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas that is produced whenever
any such fuel as gasoline is burned. Carbon monoxide from boat engines
can build up in an enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces and create poisoning
hazards. Often called the silent killer because early signs of poisoning
are ignored or the person breathing in the toxin can lose consciousness
and be unable to escape the danger.

Carbon monoxide poisoning death in the United States is responsible for
500 deaths and 15,800 visits to the emergency room annually.

Many New York boat owners are needlessly put at risk from breathing in
poisonous carbon monoxide gas while they are boating. This law will help
prevent these deaths by alarming boaters and their crew of the potential
hazard.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

This is a new bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None to the State.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the one hundred and eightieth day after it
shall become law.
