Bill would clarify boat DUI fatalities

State Reps. Barry Mask, R-Wetumpka, and Mac Gipson, R-Prattville, have introduced a bill that would clarify the Alabama law and penalties for people who operate a watercraft while intoxicated and kill another person.

The bill would make such homicide the same as a DUI automobile homicide -- a Class C felony, according to a news release from Mask.

The bill comes as a response to recent DUI boating homicides on Lake Jordan, Lake Martin and other Alabama waterways since 2006.

In December 2008, a special grand jury impaneled by 19th Circuit District Attorney Randall Houston recommended the law be strengthened and clarified. The bill has 30 co-sponsors and has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee.
