Connecticut Governor Mallow has signed into law tow age restrictions which would require boat operators to be at least 16 years old when towing a person, and also requires them to have passed safe towing education and a safe boating course.
The bill grandfathers in those people who are under the age of 16 and have already obtained a safe boating certificate. The boater operator age will remain at 12 years and older with education.
This law will go into effect October 1, 2015.
