So a 12-year-old who doesn't know what he's doing wants to putter around a lake in a fishing boat with a 5-horsepower motor. What's the worst thing that could happen? Don't answer that. You might prove you're smarter than the Idaho House Revenue Committee. Committee members killed a bill requiring children under the age of 14 to take a boating safety course and be under adult supervision before driving Jet-skis or motorboats. There might be valid arguments against such a bill. If there are, however, they didn't come from committee members/Jim Fisher, Lewiston Tribune. More here
Question: Was the House Revenue Committee correct in killing a bill that would require boat pilots under the age of 14 to take safety courses and be under adult supervision?
