PART 95--OPERATING A VESSEL WHILE UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR A DANGEROUS DRUG--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 95.025  Adoption of State blood alcohol concentration levels.

    (a) This section applies to operators of recreational vessels on 
waters within the geographical boundaries of any State that has 
established by statute a blood alcohol concentration level for purposes 
of determining whether a person is operating a vessel under the 
influence of alcohol.
    (b) If the applicable State statute establishes a blood alcohol 
concentration level at which a person is considered or presumed to be 
under the influence of alcohol, then that level applies within the 
geographical boundaries of that State instead of the level provided in 
Sec. 95.020(a) of this part.
    (c) For the purposes of this part, a standard established by State 
statute and adopted under this section is applicable to the operation of 
any recreational vessel on waters within the geographical boundaries of 
the State.
