§ 33-13-113 — Municipal corporations or organizations - powers

Nothing in this
article shall be construed to prevent municipal corporations or quasi-municipal
corporations, including, but not limited to, metropolitan recreation districts, from
policing lakes or bodies of water located within all or part of the territorial
boundaries of any such entities. Any person designated by such entities to engage
in policing work upon said bodies of water may be commissioned by the division to
enforce the provisions of this article as an authorized representative of the division.
In addition, said entities shall also be empowered to charge and collect reasonable
permit fees to defer the expense of such policing operations without the obligation
of remitting such fees to the division, but such fees shall be in addition to those
otherwise provided for in this article. Such entities are empowered to adopt and
enforce reasonable rules and regulations governing the use of vessels on the
bodies of water patrolled under their supervision if such rules and regulations do
not conflict with the provisions of this article.
