INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana’s law against operating a motorboat while intoxicated would be the same as that for drunken driving under a proposal advancing in the state Legislature.
The proposal expands the current drunken boating law’s definition of intoxication while under the influence of a controlled substance.
It is a misdemeanor offense to drive a boat with a blood-alcohol level of 0.08% or greater. Intoxicated boat drivers can face felony charges if they have a previous conviction or are involved in crashes in which a person is seriously hurt or killed.
