Final passage  in the House came unanimously today for SB 1329, legislation from the Idaho Sheriff’s Association regarding when two boats bump. The bill raises the trigger for mandatory investigations of boat accidents from $500 in damages, to $1,500 in damages - matching state law regarding motor-vehicle accidents. “All we’re doing is upping it before you have to make a report,” said House sponsor Rep. Dick Harwood, R-St. Maries. The vote was 65-0, sending the bill to the governor’s desk; it earlier passed the Senate, also unanimously.
