Bill on wake boats and access-area rules draws caution from Fish & Wildlife and DEC S.224 would let municipalities petition to regulate uses on municipal drinking-water lakes, require wake boats to identify a 'home lake' and mandate decontamination before entering other waters; Fish & Wildlife warned about loss of permitting control, parking and wetland impacts, and DEC data show limited wake-boat cross-lake movement.
