Starting Jan. 1, a new state law in Nevada requires that operators of boats that are towing a person on water skis or other devices now must be at least 16 years old.
The previous requirement was 14. A 14-year-old may drive the boat is someone else in the vessel is at least 18 and able to supervise.
As well, designed "observers" required under Nevada law to keep an eye on the person being towed must be at least 14, or 12 if another passenger is at least 18.
