Alabama is one of the few states that has a kill switch law which Capt Brooks enforces. It reads as follows:

"Alabama law requires that vessels that are less than 24 feet in length, have an open cockpit, and are powered by more than 50 horsepower be equipped with an engine cut-off switch. The lanyard of the switch must be attached to the person, clothing, or PFD of the operator."

It is expected that other states will now enact a law to follow the Federal law.
