Young boaters may need a permit under new law

• Those without a permit will still be allowed to drive a boat with supervision.

What's next: A year from now, boaters born after June 30, 2000 will need a permit. Starting in 2027, the requirement will apply to those born after 1996.

• Finally, in 2028, the permit will be required for those born after 1987.

What they're saying: "Across all the states that we've seen these sort of laws implemented, we have seen marked decreases in user conflicts on the water and bad boating behavior," Jesse McArdell of the National Marine Manufacturers Association told the Star Tribune.
