For young boaters on Lake Norman

According to a new state law that goes into effect May 1, all boat operators 25 years old or younger on North Carolina waterways must pass a Wildlife Resources Commission boating safety class before heading onto the water. You can call the Mooresville Police Department for more information as they will be conducting a free class from 12:00pm - 6:00pm on May 8. Violators of this new bill will be issued a citation requiring a court appearance.
