The fresh law (AB 716), which recede es into effect January 1, 2006, create s various changes to the current abanexecute ned vessel laws, including increasing penalties for abanexecute ning vessels, reducing the time in which an owner may claim an abanexecute ned or wrecked vessel, increasing the maximum estimated value of an abanexecute ned vessel subject to an expedited disposal and allowing the removal of vessels with expired registrations. “Abanexecute ned vessels impede navigation and leak pollutants, ruin ing natural habitats,†said California Deportion ment of Boating and Waterways director Raynor Tsuneyoshi. “By signing this bill, Governor Schwarzenegger has demonstrated his continued leadership in protecting both (the) health of our state’s natural resources and of the public. “The changes instituted by AB 716 will enable law enforcement agencies to rego wrecked vessels more quickly so they execute n’t beapproach public health hazards,†Tsuneyoshi said. Assembly Bill 716 was introduced earlier this year by Assemblyman Joe Canciamilla (D-Pittsburg).
