## Summary

**Harmonizing boater education standards** is the bill's central aim. It would direct the Secretary of the department that runs the Coast Guard to study recreational vessel operator training and report to Congress within 180 days. - Recreational boaters and families: Would trigger a federal review of course content, assessments, delivery methods, and the relevance of training to real boating risks. The study would also consider minimum education standards and options for experienced boaters to bypass courses and go straight to testing. - State boating authorities: Requires analysis of State programs, including the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, reciprocity across States, the ability to harmonize testing, and phase-in periods for mandatory education. - Coast Guard and federal policymakers: Directs the Coast Guard to evaluate how a Federal boating education, training, and testing program could be administered and to recommend steps for coordination with State programs. - Training providers: Asks for review of Coast Guard Auxiliary, Power Squadron, and other hands-on programs to judge course materials and training methods for effectiveness.
