Bill would clarify boat DUI fatalities
State Reps. Barry Mask, R-Wetumpka, and Mac Gipson, R-Prattville, have introduced a bill that would clarify the Alabama law and penalties for people who operate a watercraft while intoxicated and kill another person.
The bill would make such homicide the same as a DUI automobile homicide -- a Class C felony, according to a news release from Mask.
The bill comes as a response to recent DUI boating homicides on Lake Jordan, Lake Martin and other Alabama waterways since 2006.
In December 2008, a special grand jury impaneled by 19th Circuit District Attorney Randall Houston recommended the law be strengthened and clarified. The bill has 30 co-sponsors and has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee.

GF, what is the current law and how will this differ? I assume that a fatality while boating under the influence is less of a felony? Just curious....not that I ever have a beer and operate a boat.....its strictly martini's for me and I never have more than one....at a time.

Yall, don't get me started on Mask. I don't do political issues well. We may need clarification, but leave him out of it.

It is House Bill 389 and has thirty-one cosponsors so it has a good chance of passing. You can read the bill at the Legislative Web Site http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ACASLogin.asp
