IDNR New Boating Law and Cracking Down on Driving Boats While Under the Influence

The Summer continues to heat up, and for the most part, the weather has been warm and calm. That means that people will be spending a lot of time outside and for people with boats, they'll be spending a lot of time on lakes and rivers. Joe Cochran, Conservation Police Officer for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, said the major concern of people on boats are people who are operating vehicles under the influence or having a lack of life jackets.

Cochran also highlighted on a new law for boating that has gone into effect this year.
