I thought if you licensed your boat in Utah you had already paid the fee as part of your license. It was also my understanding that the legislation was supposed to be so out of state boaters started paying their share of the invasive species fight. But when I read the thing, it sounded like I was going to have to pay a $20 fee to boat in Utah... Do I need to pay another fee to keep boating? I just licensed my boat a week ago so I'm not really wanting to cough up another fee, especially since my motor went down and is in the shop 3 to 4 weeks before they will work on it... Would appreciate if someone could help clear up my misunderstanding here... Thanks JeffRight in the pic at the top of the email it says,"Bringing a boat to Utah", I'd say this only applies to those boaters from outside of Utah. This should help, here is the first link in the email that says,"New requirements", the links do not work below but after clicking on the original post they do answer your questions:
QUESTIONS FOR NONRESIDENT EDUCATION & PAYMENT PROGRAMS
WHAT ARE THESE REQUIREMENTS?
Starting July 1, 2020, all motorized boats used in Utah waters that are not currently registered in Utah will be subject to a new $20 fee.
WHOM DOES THIS REQUIREMENT APPLY TO?
DO I NEED TO REGISTER MY SUP, KAYAK, CANOE, ETC.?
WILL I BE ABLE TO REGISTER MULTIPLE VESSELS?
WHY DOESN'T THIS APPLY TO RESIDENTS?
WHEN DOES THIS GO INTO EFFECT?
HOW LONG IS THE EDUCATION CERTIFICATE VALID?
HOW LONG IS THE PAYMENT RECEIPT VALID?
WILL I STILL NEED TO SELF-CERTIFY THAT MY BOAT HAS MET THE DECONTAMINATION REQUIREMENTS PRIOR TO LAUNCHING?
WHAT IF I LAUNCH OUTSIDE OF UTAH ON AN INTERSTATE WATER LIKE BEAR LAKE, FLAMING GORGE, OR LAKE POWELL?
WHERE CAN I PAY THE FEE FOR A NON-UTAH REGISTERED BOAT?
WHAT IS THE QR CODE ON MY CERTIFICATE FOR?
