Written by Stephanie Taylor, Editor-in-Chief & Owner, Intelligent Luxury
"Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today signed legislation (S.5685/A.4853.A) - or Brianna's Law - to phase in requirements that all operators of motorized watercraft must complete a state-approved boating safety course," stated a press release from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, New York's Governor's Press Office.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo said at the Brianna's Law signing that he "grew up on the water." I grew up on the water too. Popular boating is canoeing! I canoed! I was a Girl Scout!

Senator John E. Brooks said, "I am very pleased that Governor Cuomo has signed this important bill into law and I would like to compliment Gina Lienek on her tireless efforts in getting this legislation passed. We must all recognize how critically important boating safety is to our waterways and I am confident that the training associated with this law will save lives. I applaud Governor Cuomo's leadership in making NY safer and thank him for his efforts in continuing to make Long Island's beaches and waterways the safe family recreation destinations they should be."
Senator Phil Boyle said, "With Governor Cuomo's signature today, Brianna's Law will begin to make our waterways safer. We thank Gina and the Lieneck Family for never giving up in their long and difficult fight to require boating safety courses in New York."
Assembly Member Kimberly Jean-Pierre said, "Boating is one of the best ways to get out and enjoy Long Island's beautiful natural resources, but tragically, we've seen far too many accidents that could have been avoided with proper safety education. Brianna's Law, named after Long Island's own Brianna Lieneck who lost her life in a boating accident in 2005, will help prevent future tragedies by requiring that all boaters know how to handle their vessels safety and how to act in emergency situations. I fought hard for this crucial legislation, and I want to thank the governor for helping protect our families by signing it into law."
Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone said, "It's critical that our waterways are safe from dangerous and reckless boating, and this law will ensure anyone operating a motorized watercraft has the proper training to navigate the waters safely. I thank Governor Cuomo for signing this important legislation and honoring the life of Brianna Lieneck."
Nassau County Executive Laura Curran said, "I want to thank Governor Cuomo for signing this historic legislation into law. We must protect our waterways the same way we protect our roads. We have over 40,000 recreational boats registered in Nassau, in addition to busy commercial fishing traffic. Nassau will continue to enforce navigational laws and safety regulations to protect residents from avoidable tragedies. This common-sense law will save lives. It will help keep the boating public and their passengers safe by requiring operators to know and obey the navigation laws and related safety procedures. Thank you to Senator John Brooks, Assemblywoman Jean-Pierre and all those who worked to get Brianna's Law across the finish line. I want to especially thank Gina Lieneck, the mother of Brianna Lieneck, for her tireless fight to ensure that her daughter's life was not lost in vain."
