Boater Waste Bill Passes Legislature

Galveston Bay Foundation is excited to announce that SB 2445 passed the Texas Legislature and has been signed by Governor Perry.  The new law will make it clear that a variety of boater sewage regulations apply to coastal waters and will enhance enforcement against boaters who choose to ignore the rules and discharge sewage illegally.  The effort to pass this bill was broadly supported as GBF cooperated closely with the Marina Association of Texas, the Texas Outdoor Council and Texas Sea Grant.  For more information on GBF’s boater education campaign, please click here. http://galvbay.org/education_boaterwaste.html
