86B.313 [PERSONAL WATERCRAFT REGULATIONS.]

Subdivision 1. [GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.] In addition to requirements of other laws relating to watercraft, it is unlawful to operate or to permit the operation of a personal watercraft:

(1) without each person on board the personal watercraft wearing a United States Coast Guard approved Type I, II, III, or V personal flotation device;

(2) between sunset and 8:00 a.m.;

(3) within 100 feet of a shoreline, dock, swimmer, or swimming diving raft or a moored, anchored, or nonmotorized watercraft at greater than slow-no wake speed;

(4) while towing a person on water skis, a kneeboard, an inflatable craft, or any other device unless:

(i) an observer is on board; or

(ii) the personal watercraft is equipped with factory-installed or factory-specified accessory mirrors that give the operator a wide field of vision to the rear;(5) without the lanyard-type engine cutoff switch being attached to the person, clothing, or personal flotation device of the operator, if the personal watercraft is equipped by the manufacturer with such a device;

(6) if any part of the spring-loaded throttle mechanism has been removed, altered, or tampered with so as to interfere with the return-to-idle system;

(7) to chase or harass wildlife;

(8) through emergent or floating vegetation at other than a slow-no wake speed;

(9) in a manner that unreasonably or unnecessarily endangers life, limb, or property, including weaving through congested watercraft traffic, jumping the wake of another watercraft within 100 feet of the other watercraft; or
