In the political world, you need to remember one VERY important item. No Bill is dead until the Legaslative session ends.

This Bill may go away in it's current form, but we need to stay vigilante, as it can come up again in another form or as an amendment.

The real shame of this situation is, for multiple reasons, the DEP has failed to do their job. We all know they do a good job with what they have to work with ,but this is the type of thing that can result from their inaction. Lattins is a public safety hazard! The DEP has even said so themselves but yet nothing has been done in the name of public safety except for mandatory boat inspections before you launch. (which is a pain but not a bad thing)

Just keep an eye open for this Bill to pop up again under another name.
