The state's Boating Under the Influence (BUI) laws prohibit operating a vessel with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher, similar to DUI laws for driving a vehicle. Additionally, individuals can be charged with BUI if they are impaired by alcohol or drugs, regardless of their BAC level. Penalties for BUI can include fines, imprisonment, and the suspension of boating privileges.
