✔️ HB183
Allow rearview mirror use instead of observer for water skiers
Current Status: In House Committee (Public Safety)
Summary
The bill allows operators of vessels towing water skiers or similar individuals to use a rearview mirror for observation instead of requiring an additional observer in the vessel. This change aims to simplify the requirements for towing activities on Ohio waters. No penalties or exceptions are specified in the text.
Rationale
The bill promotes individual freedom by reducing regulatory burdens on vessel operators, aligning with the Libertarian principles of personal liberty and minimal government intervention. Both the LP and LPO platforms support reducing government restrictions that do not infringe on the rights of others.
