A few things were mentioned I'd like to address.
-If it "floats, it's a boat" and non-motorized boats still have to follow all AIS rules and regulations that are relevant to them. They are still capable of transporting water with mussel veliger's as well as adult attached mussels. The risk is less than a motorized cabin cruiser/houseboat/wakeboard boat but still there when they take it to an infected waterbody.
-Currently, the decal and vessel enrollment program as defined by the legislature only applies to motorized boats.
-We are working towards using only your enrollment paper as your proof of purchase but for now, please display both that and your education certificate on your dash
-We are working on a better system to explain AIS rules and regs for the public but that is not ready yet.
-Once you have your decal, that is your proof of purchase on the boat after you launched. I personally prefer having screenshots of my proof of purchase, but that's not required once decal is affixed. You will still need a copy of the enrollment receipt on your towing dash windshield.
-The Regional Advisory Council (RAC) and Wildlife Board are a place to bring these items to public attention, but you may always contact the DWR for feedback as well as your local Representatives.
Thank you,
