Town to post guidance after new Connecticut law requires owner labeling on watercraft

The Town of Marlborough Parks and Recreation Commission noted a new Connecticut law requires all watercraft to display owner information and agreed to add guidance on the town website.

Barbara Lazzari reported the law at the June 8 special meeting and said the commission would post the required owner-labeling information on the town website. No specific statute name or implementation date was provided in the minutes; the commission directed staff to place information on the website to inform boat owners of the new obligation.

No enforcement steps or penalties were discussed at the meeting; the action recorded was informational—adding guidance to the town website so watercraft owners can comply with the state requirement.
