Prop Safety Law Honors Memory Of Ryan Weiss
The bill, known as Ryan’s Law, was written by Suffolk Legislator William “Doc” Spencer (D-Centerport) and unanimously approved by the county legislature in June 2018. The legislation states that “any vessel utilized to teach minors about marine navigation and safety in a formal setting, such as an instructional course conducted by a marina, yacht club or boating organization” is required to have a propeller guard when operating in Suffolk waterways.
