A bill in the Nevada Legislature would limit the speed of watercraft on Lake Tahoe near the shoreline.
Senate Bill 106 makes it a misdemeanor to operate a vessel within a 600 foot no-wake zone. It would also limit speeds to 5 nautical miles.
Sponsored by the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA), it’s designed to increase public safety.
It is also intended to align Nevada state law with TRPA’s updated shoreline regulations, to ensure consistency for the public and law enforcement, said TRPA executive director Julie Regan.
