Under the act, the Missouri State Highway Patrol is authorized to develop the temporary boating safety identification card. The act requires businesses that issue temporary boating safety identification cards to transmit the applicant's information and payment to the Missouri State Highway Patrol using an electronic online registration process developed and provided by the patrol. The electronic online registration process shall allow the applicant to pay the $9 fee by credit card, debit card, or other commercially approved electronic method. The act imposes a sunset date of December 31, 2022, on the nonresident temporary boating safety identification card program. This act contains an emergency clause. STEPHEN WITTE
