SOCIAL CIRCLE — The Georgia General Assembly passed House Bill 121 during the 2023 legislative session, bringing about changes in the regulations governing wakeboarding and wakesurfing activities on state waters. The new legislation aims to enhance safety measures, promote responsible water sports, and ensure a balance between recreation and public and private property preservation.
“We thank our state legislators for their commitment to water safety,” Col. Thomas Barnard, director of Georgia DNR’s Law Enforcement Division, said. “We certainly support any legislation that will decrease the number of water deaths and injuries on our waterways.”
