270:30-a Persons [5] 12 Years of Age or Under. No person operating or in control of a boat or vessel upon the public waters of the state shall transport a child [5] 12 years of age or under unless said child is wearing a personal flotation device of a type approved by the United States Coast Guard; provided, however, boats, vessels, and ships with continuous side rails enclosing the perimeter of the boat, vessel, or ship, 3 feet or more in height and enclosed between the deck and the top of the railing in a way that would reasonably prevent passage of a small child are exempted from the provisions of this section.

2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect 60 days after its passage.
