Amends the Boat Registration and Safety Act to provide that a person convicted of operating a watercraft while under the influence is guilty of a Class 4 felony if that person had a previous conviction for driving a motor vehicle or snowmobile while under the influence. Provides that a police officer who has reasonable suspicion (instead of probable cause) to believe that a person is under the influence may request the person to submit to a breath screening test.
