Committee reopens LD 2023 moorings working-group resolve and adds municipal member

The committee voted unanimously to reconsider LD 2023, the 2023 resolve establishing a working group to identify ways to manage inland moorings, and to amend the membership to add a municipal representative from a municipality contiguous to an inland waterbody that does not have a mooring ordinance.

Representative Jim Dill moved to reconsider and amend the resolve to include the additional municipal member; Representative Steve Wood seconded. Members said the added member would increase perspective from municipalities that may approach mooring issues differently and help avoid tie votes within the working group.

The committee recorded a unanimous vote to pass the reconsideration and amendment; IFW staff said they will bring updated language to the committee at a future meeting.
