A Long Island state lawmaker is targeting drunk boating by making it a felony offense to drive while intoxicated with kids on board.
Another proposal also would revoke an offender’s license to drive a car for boating while intoxicated conviction.
“Drunk boating has long plagued Long Island’s waterways and destroyed families but it is preventable, and we must enact laws to deter this behavior and punish those who thoughtlessly endanger other lives,” Senator Jim Gaughran (D-Suffolk) said Monday at Huntington Harbor, flanked by advocates who have lost loved ones to tragic boating accidents.
