Vessel repair law proposed in Maryland
Article Abstract:
State legislator Shane Pendegrass is sponsoring a bill in the Maryland house that aims to protect boat owners from bad practices of boat repair companies. The bill is similar to the New Jersey and Califonia vessel repair laws, which are patterned after the states' automobile repair acts. Maryland boatyard and repair shop operators, however, say that a vessel repair law will only make the repair work longer than expected and increase their costs, which will eventually be passed to the consumer.
