Alabama high court upholds large boat ban at 3 lakes
By The Associated Press
September 25, 2009, 4:25PM
MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- The Alabama Supreme Court has upheld a law that bans houseboats, cigarette boats and some other large boats from three lakes in east Alabama.

The court ruled Friday that the law passed by the Alabama Legislature in 2006 is not vague and provided sufficient notice to the public concerning what types of boats are allowed on Lake Harris, Lake Martin and Weiss Lake. The three lakes were developed by Alabama Power Co., which supported the law.

The law was challenged in a lawsuit by a group of boat owners who said the act was arbitrary and created classes of boat owners in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

The Alabama law was copied after similar restrictions Georgia has put on some of its lakes.
