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.
