# California SB 156 (20232024) — Public resources: omnibus budget trailer bill.

Existing law defines "personal watercraft" to mean a vessel 13 feet in length or less, propelled by machinery, that is designed to be operated by a person sitting, standing, or kneeling on the vessel, rather than in the conventional manner of sitting or standing inside the vessel. Existing law prohibits a person from operating a personal watercraft with a self-circulating device if the self-circulating device or the engine throttle has been altered in a way that would impede or prevent the self-circulating device from operating in its intended manner. Existing law requires a person operating a personal watercraft equipped by the manufacturer with a lanyard-type engine cut-off switch to attach the lanyard to their clothing, as provided. A violation of these provisions is a crime.
